Understanding HTTP/HTTPS Protocols

1
Connection Establishment
Client initiates connection to server. For HTTPS, SSL/TLS handshake establishes secure encrypted channel before data transfer.
2
Request Formation
Client creates HTTP request with method (GET, POST, etc.), headers, and optional body data for transmission to server.
3
Data Transmission
Request travels through network layers. For HTTPS, data is encrypted during transmission for security.
4
Server Processing
Server receives request, processes it, and generates appropriate response with status code and data.
5
Response Delivery
Server sends response back to client. Client receives and renders the content in the browser.
