How to explain The HTTP Protocol?
HTTP communicates over TCP/IP. An HTTP client connects to an HTTP server using TCP. After establishing a connection, the client can send an HTTP request message to the server:
POST /item HTTP/1.1
Host: 189.123.345.239
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 200
The server then processes the request and sends an HTTP response back to the client. The response contains a status code that indicates the status of the request:
200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 200
In the example above, the server returned a status code of 200. This is the standard success code for HTTP.
If the server could not decode the request, it could have returned something like this:
400 Bad Request
Content-Length: 0
