WWWE Logo HTTP

HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used by a Web server to communicate over the TCP/IP protocol of the Internet. HTTP allows the transfer of HTML documents and other resources between the Web server and the browser client. In Net jargon, it's often referred to as "HotTop" especially when used for Web addresses.
