HTTP

Hypertext Transfer Protocol is the foundation protocol of the World Wide Web. It structures communication between the server and the client. HTTP facilitates the retrieval of resources like HTML documents, images, and videos.  It operates on a request-response model, where a client sends a request for a file, and the server responds with a requested file or an error message.  The name HTTP comes from efficiency in quick operations in hypertext setting and swift transitions.  The connection between server and client exists only during the current request. After the response time, it remains as a connectionless protocol. It’s also a stateless protocol by not keep information between the client and server after the connection. HTTP is essential for communication and data exchange, which is the basis of web browsing and online transactions.
