The internet, a worldwide network of computer networks, allows transfer of information between networks, and the information is transferred using the internet protocol suite (IP/TCP). One of the most commonly used services on the internet is the world wide web (www). A primary mode of transferring data (resources) over the internet for billions. The application protocol that makes the web work is hypertext transfer protocol.

As web developers, we are mainly interested in HTTP, a protocol that web browsers and web servers use to communicate with each other over the Internet. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is designed to enable communications between clients and servers. HTTP works as a request-response protocol between a client and server. A web browser may be the client, and an application on a computer that hosts a website may be the server.
