HTTP Requests....???

What are HTTP Requests...🤔

The requests that the browser sends to the Web Server are HTTP requests. In simple terms, it is a way of sending messages between two machines over the internet.

HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.

Any HTTP request consists of below components:

1. Type of Request:

     It consists of whether it is GET, POST, PUT or DELETE.

2. HTTP Headers:

     Headers specify information such as type of browser, type of content in the message and what type of response we receive in return.

3. Body/Payload:

    It consists of information sent to / from the web application. 

    Only POST and PUT have payloads where as GET and DELETE cannot have payload.
