<h2>HTTP</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
HTTP is Hypertext Transfer (or Transport) Protocol, the underlying data transfer protocol used on the World Wide Web.
|
|
It defines what actions web servers and browsers should take in response to commands. For example, when a URL is opened
|
|
or hyperlink (which is a URL) clicked, your web browser actually sends an HTTP request to the server which hosts the website you're
|
|
trying to access, in order to fetch it and display it on your screen. Obviously, for each web server to understand these requests,
|
|
the server and request must both follow this protocol.
