That's exactly the misconception I was trying to correct, assuming you made it while understanding the difference.
That suite of protocols is a suite of internet protocols, and "web" (from "world wide web", certainly familiar from www in websites) is a combination of HTML served over HTTP. If it has evolved to mean the internet, my apologies, but 10-20 years ago if you said "web", you meant HTTP:

- nudpiedo 6y agono... you are just trying to be pedanting. Web, the metaphor coming from a spider web and commonly understood as the interconnection formed by networks, could be perfectly understood as inter+net as well. And web+page as what the HTTP was purposed. And all that text brings nothing to the conversation.
