| HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)HTTP is the protocol used for information exchange on the WWW. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions a HTTP Server and an HTTP Client (which in most cases is a Browser) should take in response to various messages. HTTP uses a reliable, connection-oriented transport service such as the TCP. HTTP is a stateless Protocol, where each request is interpreted independently, without any knowledge of the requests that came before it. The current version of HTTP (version 1.1) implements persistent connections (taken from P-HTTP) and pipelining in order to use one transport connection for multiple request/response interactions.
