A web protocol is a standard for enabling the connection, communication, and data transfer between two places on a network. The internet relies on a number of protocols in order to function properly.
Some of the key protocols that are used for transferring data across the internet are as follows:
1. HTTP:
HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. It is the standard protocol for transferring web pages across the internet. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions browsers should take in response to various commands.
2. HTTPS:
HTTPS stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over secure socket layer. HTTPS is used on web pages that asks to provide personal or sensitive information. For a website to use HTTPS, it needs to have a SSL certificate installed on the server. These are usually issued by a trusted 3rd party, referred to as a Certificate Authority (CA).
3. HTML:
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language for describing web documents. A markup language is a set of markup tags. Each HTML tag describes different document content.
