🆚 HTTP 2+ vs. Redirect

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an application-layer protocol used to transfer resources such as HTML documents, images, and other web content, forming the foundation of data communication in web browsers.

It uses a stateless request-response model between clients and servers, defines standard request methods such as GET and POST, uses headers for metadata and caching control, and typically operates over TCP or TLS in the case of HTTPS.

Redirect is a web redirection technique that automatically sends visitors from one domain to another instead of displaying content on the original website.

It is typically implemented using HTTP 3xx status codes, HTML meta refresh tags, or JavaScript redirects.
