HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the foundation of the World Wide Web, enabling communication between HTTP clients and servers to power websites and mobile applications. Devices communicate by sending HTTP requests and receiving HTTP responses. Requests use various "HTTP methods" to specify the desired action on a resource, each with its unique semantics. However, certain standard functionality, such as security, idempotence, and cacheability, may be common to a group of methods.
