The HTTP protocol is what powers todays web. While not useful for most people, knowing how HTTP works is important for those who work with dynamic web sites.

protocols, http, html, gprs, all these things are so confusing it would take a year to read, fully comprehend, and be able to take full advantage of all the technology available... u kno it's crazy to need a college course to understand the thing we use everyyyy day
