HTTP
The standard protocol behind web requests and responses
Core Idea
HTTP is the standard protocol browsers and servers use to exchange requests and responses. Shared rules for methods, headers, status codes, and bodies let very different stacks communicate across the web.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses HTTP as the common layer behind FastAPI routes, Nginx proxying, and frontend data fetching. It is the base concept that later supports authentication, caching, and proxy design.
