The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol 
with the lightness and speed necessary for distributed, collaborative, 
hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, object-oriented
protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and 
distributed object management systems, through extension of its request 
methods (commands). A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data
representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data 
being transferred.                               

HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative 
since 1990.  This specification reflects preferred usage of the protocol 
referred to as "HTTP/1.0".
