HTTP Settings

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the transport protocol for communicating hypertext documents on the Internet. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted. It also defines the actions web servers and browsers should take in response to different commands. HTTP Authentication enables the requirement of usernames and passwords for device access.
