web - When I type a URL in the address bar, then why does it always use "HTTP" and not some other protocol -


i want understand http protocol in depth. know can find relevant material http. few questions have in particular are:

  1. why when press enter after typing eg. "google.com" gets translated "http://www.google.com" , not "ftp://www.google.com" or else.
  2. how http request gets transferred server, routing algorithm uses decide server used, , inside server locate uniform resource".

any pointers in direction welcome!!

because http web standard requests. agreed on using when web started, , stuck (whether or not).

http stands 'hypertext transfer protocol' , in fact way how exchange information see on display when browsing.

ftp, , numerous other protocols their standards (or in general methods) purpose. http serves purpose of communicating between client , server web.

and how http works internally, well, wrote few books on it. standard described ietf: hypertext transfer protocol -- http/1.1.
