Target Audiences

Programmers, IT Students and curious audience about how the internet works.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)is the protocol programs use to communicate over the World Wide Web. HTTP is most famous for two-way conversation between clients (the web browsers) and web servers.

In this tutorial, we are going to dive in depth into all the aspects of the HTTP protocol in order for us to understand exactly how it works, what are its key components and also its entire workflow.

We will learn how to use tools such as Fiddlerand Wiresharkamong others.

We will understand all the status codes that an HTTP Request might return and all the HTTP Request Methods.

You will also understand the structure of a URL, how you can encode information on it and what is its role in this protocol.

Lastly, we will see the differences between HTTP and HTTPs, and see what improvement the second one brings.

I will be adding more lectures / supplementary materials on the course as it goes by.

This tutorial is for anyone who wants to understand HTTP and the underlying architecture of the Web.

No programming experience is required, but technical writers with programming experience who want to know more about the HTTP Protocol will still find it useful.

Thanks for reading my introduction! This is about YOUR time and making the most of it! Good luck to you and hope to see you in the course! Alex!
