HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It is an application-level protocol that is used for the transfer of data over the web. It defines the service and commands used for the transfer of internet data. It shows how the messages are transmitted and formatted. It also instructs the webserver to take appropriate actions for several commands it receives. This protocol utilizes a client-server model.

Major parts of HTTP request are-

1. · Request Body

Major parts of the HTTP response is-

1. · Response body
2. · Response Code
