The Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.

Hypertext is a multi-linear set of objects, building a network by using logical links ( the so-called hyperlinks ) between the nodes ( e. g. text or words ).

Hypertext is the underlying concept defining the structure of the World Wide Web.

Among the top academic conferences for new research in hypertext is the annual ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia ( ACM SIGWEB Hypertext Conference page ).

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure ( HTTPS ) is a widely used communications protocol for secure communication over a computer network, with especially wide deployment on the Internet.

Technically, it is not a protocol in itself ; rather, it is the result of simply layering the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) on top of the SSL / TLS protocol, thus adding the security capabilities of SSL / TLS to standard HTTP communications.

While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, it is now said to stand for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, a recursive acronym.

It is a text-based protocol, incorporating many elements of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ( SMTP ).

Currently, the World Wide Web is based mainly on documents written in Hypertext Markup Language ( HTML ), a markup convention that is used for coding a body of text interspersed with multimedia objects such as images and interactive forms.

The primary function of a web server is to deliver web pages on the request to clients using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ).

A webpage is a document, typically written in plain text interspersed with formatting instructions of Hypertext Markup Language ( HTML, XHTML ).

It is primarily coded in Hypertext Markup Language ( HTML ).

* Most recursive acronyms are recursive on the first letter, which is therefore an arbitrary choice, often selected for reasons of humour, ease of pronunciation, or consistency with an earlier acronym that used the same letters for different words, such as PHP: PHP Hypertext Preprocessor, which was originally " Personal home page ".

Hypertext is text with hyperlinks.

It uses the HTML element " a " with the attribute " href " ( HREF is an abbreviation for " Hypertext REFerence ") and optionally also the attributes " title ", " target ", and " class " or " id ":

Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning ( WebDAV ) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) that facilitates collaboration between users in editing and managing documents and files stored on World Wide Web servers.

A text-based system that can include groups of documents with hyperlinks among them is known as a Hypertext System.

IPP is implemented using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) and inherits all of the HTTP streaming and security features.

Examples of stateless protocols include the Internet Protocol ( IP ) which is the foundation for the Internet, and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) which is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.

In particular, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol identifies the client software originating the request, using a " User-Agent " header, even when the client is not operated by a user.

:: In a Hypertext database, any word or a piece of text representing an object, e. g., another piece of text, an article, a picture, or a film, can be linked to that object.

He later worked with Andries van Dam to develop the Hypertext Editing System ( text editing ) in 1967 at Brown University.

Hypertext is related to paratext, which includes information that accompanies the text itself ( illustrations, preface or introduction ).

* Hypertext version of Project Gutenberg text of A Princess of Mars

* Hypertext, often incorporating new media and multimedia forms within the text.

* Hypertext: Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia

* Charlotte's Web: A Hypertext on Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre

In 2004 development began on HTML5 in the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group ( WHATWG ), which became a joint deliverable with the W3C in 2008.

* Reviving Advanced Hypertext ( whether and how concepts from hypertext research can be used on the Web )

* The ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia

It relies on Extensible Markup Language ( XML ) for its message format, and usually relies on other Application Layer protocols, most notably Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ( SMTP ), for message negotiation and transmission.

For the World Wide Web, this means writing simple common denominator Hypertext Markup Language ( HTML ) and Cascading Style Sheets ( CSS ) so that most Web user agents on most devices can render it acceptably.

When a web page is requested via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the server locates a file in its file system based on the requested URL.

Thierry Bardini has authored many papers and books on innovation, sociology of technology, and hypermedia: he is the author of Bridging the Gulfs: From Hypertext to Cyberspace, where he described the history of hypertext through the visions of two early pioneers in the field: Douglas Engelbart and Ted Nelson.

* H2ptm: International conference on Hypertext and hypermedia, products, tools and methods

These run as autonomous proxy processes on a managed node, and perform execution and monitoring tasks for Oracle Enterprise Manager, communicating using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP or HTTPS ).

In April 2005 he joined the Compound Document formats ( CDF ) Working Group, became co-chair of the W3C Hypertext Coordination Group, and also took on managerial responsibility for HTML, CSS, SMIL, Timed Text, MathML, and VoiceXML.

It could also imply a reaction to significant post-war events: the beginning of the Cold War, the civil rights movement in the United States, postcolonialism ( Postcolonial literature ), and the rise of the personal computer ( Cyberpunk fiction and Hypertext fiction ).

Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) is stateless: a client computer running a web browser must establish a new Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP ) network connection to the web server with each new HTTP GET or POST request.

The first ACM Hypertext ( hyperediting and databases ) academic conference took place in November 1987, in Chapel Hill NC, where many other applications, including the branched literature writing software Storyspace, were also demonstrated.

Besides the already mentioned Project Xanadu, Hypertext Editing System, NLS, HyperCard, and World Wide Web, there are other noteworthy early implementations of hypertext, with different feature sets: Hypertext Editing System ( HES ) IBM 2250 Display console – Brown University 1969

The technology behind the World Wide Web, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ), does not actually make any distinction between " deep " links and any other links — all links are functionally equal.
