HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the foundation of how devices communicate on the internet, specifically for exchanging web pages and resources. When you type a website address, your device sends an HTTP request to the server hosting that site. The server then responds with the requested content, like text, images, or videos. Think of it as a set of rules that allows your browser and web servers to understand each other and transfer information efficiently. HTTP is essential for browsing the web, enabling seamless access to online content.
