HTTP, short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is the foundational protocol used on the World Wide Web for transmitting data. It facilitates the transfer of various types of resources, such as HTML documents, images, and videos, from a web server to a client, typically a web browser. This protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, as well as the actions web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands.
