Move?

I propose moving this article to Hypertext Transfer Protocol, leaving a redirect from HTTP. (We should probably also add a redirect from http and maybe HyperText Transfer Protocol, too.) The naming conventions page doesn't explicitly address abbreviations, but it seems that using acronyms and abbreviations for article titles in general will lead to a great deal of confusion, even if HTTP is itself unambiguous.

Agreed, although I didn't do the moves before I did updates today. I also created an actual article about hypertext, rather than a redirect to HTML.Howard C. Berkowitz 11:57, 17 July 2008 (CDT)

Is there a real web cache protocol expert in the house?

Is Cisco's WCCP the de facto standard, or is an IETF protocol such as ICP commonly used? Howard C. Berkowitz 11:57, 17 July 2008 (CDT)

note to self or another coming along to help out

Parts of the current article might appropriately be moved to World Wide Web, as they pertains to payloads of HTTP, rather than the protocol and how it works. If not moved, they should be under a special section designated "uses of the protocol" or some such.Pat Palmer 14:35, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
