HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol

HTTP is the protocol which carries information for the World Wide Web, as defined in RFC 1945.

The client (eg. a web browser) sends a request to the server which processes the request and sends back a response. A request contains a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) to identify the requested resource.

The following Carapace classes are related to HTTP:

Http a scripted comms module to support HTTP
Url encapsulates a Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
HttpServer an object which acts as an HTTP server
HttpRequest holds information submitted as an HTTP request
HttpResponse holds information to be sent back as an HTTP response
