In telecomunicazioni e informatica l'HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) (in italiano: protocollo di trasferimento ipertesto) è un protocollo a livello applicativo usato come principale sistema per la trasmissione d'informazioni sul web ovvero in un'architettura tipica client-server. Le specifiche del protocollo sono gestite dal World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Un server HTTP generalmente resta in ascolto delle richieste dei client sulla porta 80 usando il protocollo TCP a livello di trasporto.
