Understanding HTTP

By In Services

HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the foundation of data communication on the web. In this post, we’ll cover the basics of HTTP and how it works.

What is HTTP?

HTTP is a protocol used for transferring hypertext requests and information on the internet. It’s based on a client-server model where the client makes requests, and the server provides responses.

HTTP Methods

There are several HTTP methods, including:

  • GET: Requests data from a specified resource.
  • POST: Submits data to be processed to a specified resource.
  • PUT: Updates a specified resource with the provided data.
  • DELETE: Deletes a specified resource.

Here’s an example of a simple HTTP GET request using JavaScript:

fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => console.log(data));
