Question 30

Explain the role of HTTP protocol.

Answer

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used to transfer all files and other data (collectively called resources) from one computer to another on the World Wide Web. This protocol is used to transfer hypertext documents over the Internet and defines how data is formatted and transmitted across the network. When an HTTP client (a browser) sends a request to an HTTP server (web server), the server responds by sending back data to the client.
