The 23 pages that link to HTTP, each with the reason it gives.

• Application programming interfaceRelated: Web APIs commonly use HTTP to carry operations and results.

• Transmission Control ProtocolRelated: HTTP commonly uses TCP to carry requests and responses, especially in HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.

• Hypertext Transfer ProtocolRelated: HTTPS secures HTTP exchanges against eavesdropping and tampering.

• Tim Berners-LeeBroader topic: Berners-Lee designed HTTP to let browsers and servers exchange web documents.

• Character encodingRelated: HTTP metadata can identify the encoding used for transferred text.

• Virtual private networkCompared with: HTTPS protects individual web connections; a VPN tunnel can cover traffic beyond the browser.

• Transport Layer SecurityBroader topic: It is the most visible everyday use of TLS.

• Web applicationRelated: Browsers and web servers use HTTP to exchange requests and responses.

• Web serverRelated: Web servers use HTTP rules to interpret requests and format responses.

• Web crawlerRelated: A crawler retrieves page resources through HTTP requests.

• HTTP Live StreamingNarrower topic: HLS uses ordinary HTTP delivery rather than requiring a dedicated streaming transport.

• URLRelated: An http URL selects this protocol for requesting a resource.

• WebSocketCompared with: WebSocket starts with HTTP but supports ongoing two-way communication beyond its request-response pattern.

• Progressive web appRelated: Browsers generally require a secure context for service workers and other powerful web APIs.

• Public key infrastructureBroader topic: Web browsers rely on PKI to validate the certificates presented by HTTPS sites.

• Reverse proxyRelated: Reverse proxies commonly inspect, route, and modify HTTP requests and responses.

• Web syndicationRelated: Feed readers commonly retrieve syndicated documents from servers over HTTP.

• Simple Mail Transfer ProtocolCompared with: Webmail uses HTTP for its interface, while SMTP handles outgoing email transmission.

• Web developmentRelated: It carries browser requests and server responses between web clients and services.

• Web pageRelated: HTTP commonly carries page requests and responses between browsers and servers.

• File Transfer ProtocolCompared with: HTTP can deliver files through web servers without FTP’s separate data connection.

• Common Gateway InterfaceNarrower topic: CGI connects server-side programs to the HTTP request-and-response cycle.

• History of cryptographyRelated: Public-key cryptography and modern protocols brought the long history of secrecy into routine web use.
