How does HTTP work:
HTTP, or hypertext transfer protocol, works in a client-server model. HTTP provides a way to integrate with web resources by transmitting hypertext messages between client and server. The communication usually happens over port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS), the latter offering encrypted communication for security via SSL/TLS.
HTTP operates on a request-response model and is stateless, meaning each request is independent, and the server does not retain information about previous interactions. However, technologies like cookies and sessions are used to maintain context for users, like staying logged in or remembering cart items on e-commerce sites.
