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. HTTP defines how the data is formatted and transmitted over the network. When an HTTP client (a browser) sends a request to an HTTP server (web server), the server sends responses back to the client.

The main features of an HTTP protocol are:

  1. It is a stateless protocol, this means that HTTP server need not keep track of any command and each command is independent of any other command.
  2. It is an object-oriented protocol that uses the client server model.
