HTTP Requests & Responses
Understand the foundational HTTP protocol, learning how browsers communicate with web servers and how to emulate these interactions.
Welcome to HTTP!
HTTP — Hypertext Transfer Protocol — is the web’s language. It’s the rules your code and scrapers use to talk to web servers and fetch data.
Client-Server Chat
HTTP follows a client-server model: your browser (client) asks for pages, the website’s machine (server) stores and sends them back.
