HTTP, HTTPS & TLS: The Language of the Web

• ↳HTTP is the foundation of the web.
• ↳It's a Stateless, Request-Response protocol.
• ↳The server has absolutely no memory of previous requests.
• ↳To maintain state (like a logged-in user or a shopping cart), we must pass context with every request using Cookies or Tokens (JWTs).

use standard HTTP Methods: - GET (Fetch data) - POST (Create data) - PUT/PATCH (Update data) - DELETE (Remove data)

curl -v https://api.example.com Shows the entire request-response lifecycle, including the TLS handshake, headers, and body.
