HyperText Transfer Protocol
(Redirected from HTTP)
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application layer protocol in the Internet protocol suite model for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, where hypertext documents include hyperlinks to other resources that the user can easily access, for example by a mouse click or by tapping the screen in a web browser.

Hints
- Provide a lightweight HTTP server
python -m 'http.server' 8000 --bind '127.0.0.1' --directory "${HOME}/web"
NOTE:
By default, server binds itself to all interfaces. The option -b / --bind specifies a specific address to which it should bind.
[2]
NOTE:
By default, server uses the current directory. The option -d / --directory specifies a directory to which it should serve the files.
