HTTP

HTTP, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is the fundamental protocol used for communication on the World Wide Web. It defines how messages (requests and responses) are formatted and transmitted between web servers and clients (such as web browsers).

What is the difference between HTTP and HTTPS ?

HTTP is a standard protocol for transmitting data between a client and a server over the web, while HTTPS adds an additional layer of security through encryption, ensuring that data exchanged between the client and server is protected from eavesdropping and tampering.
