what is the difference between HTTP and TCP/IP protocal?

Answer Posted / sl

TCP/IP : Transmission control protocol / Internet Protocol

HTTP: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

HTTP runs on top of TCP/IP. TCP is responsible for making
sure that a file sent from one network node to another ends
up as a complete file at the destination, even though the
file is split into chunks when it is sent. IP is the
underlying protocol that moves or routes the chunks/packets
from one host to another on their way to the destination.
HTTP then is another network protocol that has web -specific
features, but it depends on TCP / IP to get the complete
request and response from one place to another. The
structure of an HTTP conversation is a simple Request/
Response sequence; a browser requests, and a server responds.
