  • HTTP => Hypertext Transfer Protocol

  • It is a protocol for fetching resources such as HTML documents. It is the foundation of any data exchange on the Web and it is a client-server protocol, which means requests are initiated by the recipient, usually the Web browser.

  • Clients and Servers communicate by exchanging individual messages. The messages sent by the client, usually a Web browser, are called requests and the messages sent by the server as an answer are called responses.

  • Due to its extensibility, it is used to not only fetch hypertext documents. but also images and videos or to post contents to servers, like with HTML form results.
