HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It is an application protocol that defines the way data is transmitted over the World Wide Web. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web and it defines how clients (such as web browsers) and servers communicate with each other to exchange data, including text, images, videos, and other multimedia content.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a method for encoding and transporting information between a client (such as a web browser) and a web server. HTTP is the primary protocol for transmission of information across the Internet.

The meaning of the acronym "http" is Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The HTTP is a set of rules for transferring files such as text, sounds, video, image and other multimedia files over the web.

Now, there exist a difference between HTTP and HTTPS. the difference between the two protocols is that HTTPS is encrypted and secured using digital certificates, while HTTP may not be totally secured.
