The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is designed to enable communications between clients and servers.

HTTP works as a request-response protocol between a client and server.

Example: A client (browser) sends an HTTP request to the server; then the server returns a response to the client. The response contains status information about the request and may also contain the requested content.

  • GET

  • POST

  • PUT

  • HEAD

  • DELETE

  • PATCH

  • OPTIONS

  • CONNECT

  • TRACE

The two most common HTTP methods are: GET and POST.
