HTTP Connections

An acronym for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, HTTP is the foundation of the World Wide Web, and is used to load webpages using hypertext links.

HTTP is an application layer protocol, designed to transfer information between networked devices, and runs on top of other layers of the network protocol stack.

A typical flow over HTTP involves a client machine making a request to a server, which then sends a response message.
