In the context of CSS (Central Superior Services) Pakistan and UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) India, the full form of HTTP is:

HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol

Explanation (For CSS & UPSC Exams):

• HTTP is a protocol used for transferring web pages on the internet.
• It is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.
• When you open a website (like http://www.example.com), your browser uses HTTP to communicate with the server.

Relevance in CSS/UPSC Exams:

1. General Science & Technology:
   • HTTP is part of basic internet and computer literacy.
   • Often asked in MCQs or short questions.
2. Current Affairs / Essays:
   • Knowing HTTP is useful when discussing topics like:
     • Digital governance
     • Cybersecurity
     • Internet policies
     • E-Government and online services

Bonus Tip:

If the URL starts with HTTPS instead of HTTP:

HTTPS = HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure
It means the communication is encrypted and secure, widely used in banking and login systems.
