operations on the Internet:
HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol: It is a set of rules that defines how the Web pages transfer
information like documents, files, images, and videos between computers over the Internet.

information into code to prevent unauthorised access. Nowadays, most of the websites use the
HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP.

FTP - File Transfer Protocol: It is a set of rules that allows file uploading and downloading from the
other computers over the Internet.
TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: It is a network protocol that defines
how the information or messages are routed from one end of a network to the other.

to retrieve e-mail messages from an e-mail server.
