What is what does http mean?

HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, it is a protocol that is primarily used to transfer data over the internet. It is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web. HTTP enables communication between clients and servers, allowing for the transfer of information and data such as web pages, images, videos, and more. It is a stateless protocol, which means that each request and response stands independently, without any connection between them. HTTP uses Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) to identify web resources and a set of methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) to request or respond to resources. The most commonly used version of HTTP is HTTP/1.1.
