Protocols

HTTP

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an application-layer protocol for transmitting hypermedia documents, such as HTML. It was designed for communication between web browsers and web servers, but it can be used for other purposes as well. HTTP follows a classical client-server model, with a client opening a connection to make a request, then waiting until it receives a response from the server.
