HTTP
in full
HyperText Transfer ProtocolStandard application-level
protocol used for exchanging files on the
World Wide Web. HTTP runs on top of the
TCP/IP protocol. Web
browsers are HTTP clients that send file requests to Web
servers, which in turn handle the requests via an HTTP service. HTTP was originally proposed in 1989 by
Tim Berners-Lee, who was a coauthor of the 1.0 specification. HTTP in its 1.0 version was “stateless”: each new request from a client established a new connection instead of handling all similar requests through the same connection between a specific client and server. Version 1.1 includes persistent connections, decompression of HTML files by client browsers, and multiple
domain names sharing the same
IP address.
