HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol
used by the World Wide Web. HTTP defines how messages are formatted
and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should
take in response to various commands. In other words, HTTP is the
set of rules for exchanging files.
For example, when you enter a URL like www.sena.com in your browser,
this actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing
it to fetch and transmit the requested Web page www.sena.com. Web
browsers typically default to the HTTP protocol. For example, typing
www.sena.com is the same as typing http://www.sena.com. For more
