WHAT IS HTTP
• HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol.
• It is a protocol used to access the data on the
World Wide Web (www).
• The HTTP protocol can be used to transfer the
data in the form of plain text, hypertext,
audio, video, and so on.
How HTTP Works
• Client Request: The user enters a URL in the
browser, initiating an HTTP request.
• Server Response: The server processes the
request and sends back a response (usually a
web page).
• Stateless Protocol: Each HTTP request is
independent; no memory of previous requests
is maintained.
HTTP Methods
• GET: Requests data from a server.
• POST: Sends data to the server.
• PUT: Updates data on the server.
• DELETE: Deletes data on the server.
• HEAD: Requests headers without the body.
• OPTIONS: Retrieves supported methods from
the server.
HTTP vs HTTPS
• HTTP: Data is transferred in plain text.
• HTTPS: Secured version of HTTP, uses SSL/TLS
encryption to protect data during transfer.
Common Uses of HTTP
• Web Browsing: Accessing websites.
• API Requests: Communicating with web
services (RESTful APIs).
• File Transfers: Downloading
Future of HTTP
• HTTP/2: Improved performance, multiplexing,
header compression.
• HTTP/3: Built on QUIC, faster, secure, and
optimized for mobile networks.
Conclusion
• Recap the importance of HTTP in web
communication.
• Mention the significance of HTTPS for security.
• Encourage further study on HTTP/2 and
HTTP/3.
