HTTP Stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, The HTTP protocol is the system that browsers use to talk to web servers. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. heres an example, when you enter a URL in your browser, this actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and transmit the requested Website.
These are HTML code <html> </html><head></head> <title></title> <body></body> they are normally reffered to as tags, these tags are used to define certain areas of a webpage, tags are usually enclosed in less than < & > brackets. I have used these tags in a previous project, the tags I used were <title>The Mechanic</title> will cause the title ‘The Mechanic’ to be visible in the title bar of the user’s browser, the name in the title bar was 'The Mechanic'. <Font> Sets font style size and color. <Textarea> Creates a text box.
The TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) provides reliable, ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from a program on one computer to another program on another computer. TCP is the protocol that major Internet applications rely on, applications such as the World Wide Web, e mail, and file transfer. Other applications, which do not require reliable data stream service, may use the User Datagram Protocol, which provides a datagram service that emphasizes reduced latency over reliability. TCP provides a point to point channel for applications that require reliable communications.
When an application program desires to send a large chunk of data across the Internet using IP, instead of breaking the data into IP-sized pieces and issuing a series of IP requests, the software can issue a single request to TCP and let TCP handle the IP details. which is why the internet protocol suite is commonly referred to as TCP/IP. The File Transfer Protocol and Telnet are all examples of applications that require a reliable communication channel. TCP provides a communication service at an intermediate level between an application program and the Internet Protocol.
File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear text sign in protocol but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it.
