Spelling: HTTP
HyperText [1] Transfer Protocol.
A protocol in the TCPIP [2] suite, originally designed by Tim
Berners-Lee, defined in RFC 1945 as:
"an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative,
hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol
which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as
name servers and distributed object management systems, through
extension of its request methods, error codes and headers. A feature
of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing
systems to be built independently of the data being transferred."
