The Internet relies on HTTP, an application-layer protocol, to transmit hypermedia documents such as HTML. This protocol enables communication between web browsers and servers, as well as machine-to-machine interactions. However, the specific HTTP version in use determines the number of new features or flaws encountered during digital communication. For example, HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/2.0 each bring their own set of characteristics.
HTTP operates within a client-server model, where the client is the entity requesting something, and the server is the provider of resources. When a client initiates a connection with a server, HTTP functions as a stateless protocol. This means that the server retains no information about prior interactions between the client and the server. However, the introduction of cookies can add some statefulness to the communication process.
