7. INTRO
The Hyper Text Transfer Protocol(HTTP) is a client-server
network protocol.
In use by the World-Wide Web since 1990.
It is based on Request – Response Paradigm.
8. WHAT IS A PROTOCOL AND HTTP
• A Protocol is a standard procedure for defining and regulating communication. For
example TCP,UDP,HTTP etc.
• HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.
• The HTTP is the Web’s application-layer protocol for transferring various forms of
data between server and client like plaintext , hypertext ,image , videos and sounds.
9. HTTPS
HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or
HTTP over SSL.
SSL acts like a sub layer under regular HTTP application layering .
HTTPS encrypts an HTTP message prior to transmission and decrypts a message
upon arrival.
HTTPS by default used port 443 as opposed to the standard HTTP port of 8o.
11. FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL
• Allows two computers , a client and server, to connect over the internet.
• During this connection the server and client are able to then transfer various
files.
• This is done through converting files into binary and then transmitting files
into binary and then transmitting the data, this concise process allows
someone to download or upload a file to the internet.
12. FEATURES
• FTP operates in a client and server environment , meaning that the
remote machine is configured as a server, and consequently waits for
the other machine (client) to request a service from it.
• In UNIX , the service is provided by what is called a daemon, a small
task that runs in the background . The FTP daemon is called ftpd.
13. EXAMPLE
• Downloading MP3.
• Online games rely heavily on FTP.
• Other events like auctions and online trading use FTP to transact
business.
• FTP is commonly used to transfer Web page files from their
creator to the computer that acts as their server for everyone on
the internet.
