HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, where hypertext documents include hyperlinks to other resources that the user can easily access, for example by a mouse click or by tapping the screen in a web browser.ĭevelopment of HTTP was initiated by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989 and summarized in a simple document describing the behavior of a client and a server using the first HTTP protocol version that was named 0.9. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP) is an application layer protocol in the Internet protocol suite model for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. RFC 8441 HTTP/2: Bootstrapping WebSockets with HTTP/2 (2018).
