HyperText Transfer Protocol
Protocol for transferring files in hypertext format over the Internet. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) regulates the transfer of web pages between web server and browser.
HTTP and HTTPS
HTTP is a stateless protocol for transferring data over a computer network. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) have standardized the protocol. To encrypt transmitted data, there are standards that supplement and build on HTTP, such as HTTPS. The protocol was developed by Tim Berners-Lee and his team at CERN starting in 1989, thus creating the foundations of the World Wide Web.
The communication
The communication between client and server, which are called messages, differ in the request from the client to the server and the response from the server to the client. The message consists of two parts, the header and the body. The header contains information about the body, such as coding or the content type, so that it can be correctly interpreted by the recipient.
