The '''[[Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application layer protocol in the Internet protocol suite model for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.1) - IETF RFC 2616, Title: Hypertext Transfer Protocol – HTTP/1.1, Roy T. Fielding, Tim Berners-Lee, et al., Publisher: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), June 1999))
HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the [[World Wide Web]], where [[hypertext]] documents include [[hyperlink]]s to other resources that the user can easily access, for example by a [[Computer mouse]] | [[mouse]] click or by tapping the screen in a web browser.
Development of HTTP was initiated by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989 and summarized in a simple document describing the behavior of a client and a server using the first HTTP protocol version that was named 0.9.<ref name=“HTTP/0.9-specifications”>
