D05: What does http stand for

QUESTION: What does http:// stand for?

ANSWER: Hypertext transfer protocol. UGH! It used to be that you had to type http:// before the wwws in a website address. It used to be such a pain to type—thank goodness that is no longer true. Don’t be surprised, however, if http:// is in the website address box even if you didn’t type it. It appears automatically.
