Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The HTTP protocol (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used by web browsers to request and receive web pages from the Internet. URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) are used to identify the specific web page or resource that the browser wants to access, but the actual communication between the browser and the web server is done using the HTTP protocol. DNS (Domain Name System) is responsible for translating human-readable domain names (such as www.example.com) into IP addresses that computers can use to communicate with each other. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the language used to create web pages, but it is not a protocol for requesting and receiving them. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for transferring files between computers, but it is not commonly used for accessing web pages.
