HTTP

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a communication protocol that is used to deliver information on the Internet. It is largely used for data transmission on the World Wide Web.

HTTP defines how information is formatted and passed between computers on the Internet. It also defines which answers the web servers can send back to the clients (such as a web browser) to tell them how to process the received information. HTTP also uses the Request-Response system, where the client sends a request to the server and receives a response, in order to establish an efficient communication between computers.
