HTTP
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the application-layer protocol that clients and servers use to exchange requests and responses on the web.
HTTP, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, was devised by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN alongside the World Wide Web, and its standards are maintained by the IETF. A client sends a request using a method such as GET or POST, and the server replies with a response that includes a status code.
Status codes summarize the outcome as a number: 200 means success, 404 means not found and 500 means an internal server error. Most web APIs, including those of AI services, run over HTTP, and the encrypted form of the protocol is called HTTPS.
