HTTP/HTTPS
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is a request-response protocol that powers the web. Clients send requests with a method, path, and headers, and servers respond with a status code and body. HTTPS adds TLS encryption on top, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality between client and server.
Use Cases
- •Building web applications that serve HTML, JSON, or other content to browsers
- •Designing API endpoints that follow standard HTTP methods and status codes
- •Debugging network issues by inspecting request and response headers
- •Understanding the difference between secure (HTTPS) and insecure (HTTP) communication
