When I started learning http very firstly, the simplest definition of it I could instill is as below page shows:

https://www.webopedia.com/TERM/H/HTTP.html

HTTP means HyperText Transfer Protocol. HTTP là giao thông bên ngoài được sử dụng bởi World Wide Web và protocol này defines how messages are formatted và truyền, và những hành động Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands.

I continued searching to find another way and with the simple pictures, specific examples on this page I can understand a little more:
https://www.w3schools.com/whatis/whatis_http.asp

After that, I think I should read more to know what is around http:

Keep fighting, me.
