Question

When you issue a URL from your browser to get a web resource, the browser turns the URL into a request message and sends it to the web server. The server interprets the request message, and returns you an appropriate response message, which is either the resource you requested or an error message.

What type of protocol is used by the web client and server used in this process?

Select one:
HTTP
MOM
POP3
NNTP
SMTP

Answer 1

HTTP is the type of protocol used by the web client and server in that process.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an internet protocol used to transfer data over the internet. It helps users to connect to various web servers. When you issue a URL [Uniform Resource Locator], the web browser sends a request to the respective web server in the form of an HTTP co‎de. If both the URL and connection are valid and available, you will be redirected to the desired web page.

There are some cases when the page returns error messages while trying to establish a connection with the web server. This could be due to reasons ranging from low internet connectivity, the server being down/undergoing changes, incorrect co‎des, unauthorized connections, etc.
