HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the foundational application-layer protocol used to transmit data across the World Wide Web, defining how requests and responses are formatted between clients (like browsers) and servers. Understanding HTTP -- including methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), status codes, and headers -- is essential for web developers, backend engineers, and QA professionals building or debugging networked applications. Its secure variant, HTTPS, adds encryption via TLS/SSL.
