HTTP is an acronym for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It is a standard networking protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia systems which has been used in the World Wide Web since 1990.[1] The specifications for HTTP was developed by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of World Wide Web.[2] The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the World Wide Web Consortium coordinate the development and publications of HTTP standards through RFCs.
