HTTP Protocol

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an application protocol that is used for transmitting data over the internet. It is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. HTTP is a client-server protocol, which means that requests are initiated by the recipient, usually a web browser, and responses are sent by the server. The protocol is stateless, meaning that each request and response is independent of any previous request or response. HTTP uses a request-response model, where the client sends a request to the server, and the server responds with the requested data. The request message consists of a request line, headers, and an optional message body, while the response message consists of a status line, headers, and an optional message body.
