HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol ([[HTTP]]) is an application-level [[protocol]] for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for [[hypertext]], such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers. A feature of [[HTTP]] is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred.
HTTP has been in use by the
RFC 2616

HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred.
HTTP has been in use by the WorldWideWeb global information initiative since 1990. This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1", and is an update to RFC 2068.
