HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. It is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is a request-response protocol in the client-server computing model. A web browser, for example, may be the client and an application running on a computer hosting a website may be the server. HTTP is used to facilitate communications between clients and servers. When a client (e.g., a web browser) sends a request to a server, it is sent over the internet using HTTP. The server then processes the request and sends a response back to the client. This response is usually in the form of an HTML document, but can also be in other formats such as an image or a JSON file. HTTP is used by many web applications, including file sharing applications and software. This type of software typically allows users to upload and download files, share files with other users, and access files stored on remote servers. HTTP is used to transfer the data between the client and the server, allowing these applications to provide the functionality they offer.
