RFC2616-Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. it is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for processing tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application-level protocol developed for distributed, collaborative, and hypermedia information systems. It is a common, stateless protocol and has many uses in addition to hypertext, such as request method extension, error code and header, used as name server and distributed object management system. One feature of HTTP is the generation and negotiation of Data performance, allowing independent data transmission systems.

HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1", and is an update to RFC 2068
