Network services

HTTP

Also called request, response, status code, header

The web's request and response protocol: plain text over TCP unless wrapped in TLS.

A request line (GET /account), headers and an optional body; a status (200, 404, 502), headers and a body back. Over plain HTTP anyone on the path can read and change all of it.
