Talk:HTTP

Correction: Message Format
I've found out that the sentence The client and server communicate by sending plain-text (ASCII) messages is not right as it should be. Only the header is in plain text (ASCII), but not the body. The body must keep its own coding. In the case of binary files it's the binary coding we have to keep. Please correct the sentence stated above to fit therules in everyday webserver programming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:59:c33:ed00:a844:fb11:223c:a4b (talk) 12:42, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Hypertext Transfer Protocol → HTTP – The acronym, HTTP, as far more common than the full name, and should be the title per MOS:ACROTITLE. Related articles like HTML, XML, PHP, CSS, API (the list is too big to name them all) use acronyms. Even HTTPS uses an acronym, so it's weird that HTTP doesn't.

 * Oppose per previous RM 162 etc. (talk) 06:00, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support move. Although it's hard to judge the common name in a case like this, "HTTP" is so well known that it's almost certainly common.  O.N.R.  (talk) 12:13, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
