1.1About HTTP and HTTPS

HTTP

HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) is the set of rules used for transferring files (text, graphic images, sound, and video) over the Web. When a user opens a Web browser, the user is indirectly making use of HTTP. HTTP is an application protocol that runs on top of the TCP/IP suite of protocols.

In addition to the files that it serves, every Web server contains an HTTP daemon—a program that waits for HTTP requests and handles them when they arrive. A Web browser is an HTTP client, sending requests to server machines. When the user enters a URL or clicks on a hypertext link, the browser builds an HTTP request and sends it to the IP address indicated by the URL. The HTTP daemon in the destination server machine receives the request and sends back the requested file or files associated with the request.
