I don't get the bottom line part: how can you send something via "HTTP"? What method of transport layer is being used?

- gabipurcaru 13y agonot an expert, but as far as I know, HTTP is a layer over TCP
- snake_plissken 13y agoYup that's what I thought as well. After looking into it some more, I think HTTP/S implies you are using one of the transport layers; conversely, you can directly access the transport layer without using one of the traditional application layers. But that doesn't completely mesh with the parts about modifying TCP or UDP.
- hawleyal 13y agoThe HTTP service sends by responding to a client request. For psuedo-streaming, usually just client polling.
