Detailed explanation-1: -HTTP functions as a request-response protocol in the client-server computing model. In HTTP, a web browser, for example, acts as a client, while an application running on a computer hosting a web site functions as a server. The client submits an HTTP request message to the server.
Detailed explanation-2: -As a request-response protocol, HTTP gives users a way to interact with web resources such as HTML files by transmitting hypertext messages between clients and servers. HTTP clients generally use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections to communicate with servers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a protocol that secures communication and data transfer between a user’s web browser and a website. HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP. The protocol protects users against eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks.
Detailed explanation-4: -A client (a browser) sends an HTTP request to the web. A web server receives the request. The server runs an application to process the request. The server returns an HTTP response (output) to the browser. The client (the browser) receives the response.
