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 |
