What is the term HTTP?
(HyperText Transfer Protocol) The communications protocol used to connect to Web servers on the Internet or on a local network (intranet). The primary function of HTTP is to establish a connection with the server and send HTML pages back to the user’s browser.
What is http built on?
HTTP is a protocol that’s built on top of the TCP/IP protocols. Each HTTP request is inside an IP packet, and each HTTP response is inside another IP packet–or more typically, multiple packets, since the response data can be quite large.
What does SMTP stand for?
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
What Is Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)? SMTP is used to send and receive email. It is sometimes paired with IMAP or POP3 (for example, by a user-level application), which handles the retrieval of messages, while SMTP primarily sends messages to a server for forwarding.
Can HTTP GET have a body?
Yes. In other words, any HTTP request message is allowed to contain a message body, and thus must parse messages with that in mind. Server semantics for GET, however, are restricted such that a body, if any, has no semantic meaning to the request.
What are the 3 parts to a URL?

Who wrote HTTP?
Tim Berners-Lee

Who created IP?
Vint Cerf
Bob Kahn
Internet Protocol/Inventors
The most popular network protocol in the world, TCP/IP protocol suite, was designed in 1970s by 2 DARPA scientists—Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, persons most often called the fathers of the Internet.
What’s the meaning of IMAP?
Internet Message Access Protocol
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a protocol for accessing email or bulletin board messages from a (possibly shared) mail server or service. IMAP allows a client e-mail program to access remote message stores as if they were local.
What is the full form of POP3?
POP3 (Post Office Protocol) Emails are stored on a single device.
How do I delete HTTP?
The HTTP DELETE method is used to delete a resource from the server. Unlike GET and HEAD requests, the DELETE requests may change the server state. Sending a message body on a DELETE request might cause some servers to reject the request. But you still can send data to the server using URL parameters.
Does delete have a body?
Yes it is allowed to include a body on DELETE requests, but it’s semantically meaningless. What this really means is that issuing a DELETE request with a request body is semantically equivalent to not including a request body.
