hypertext transfer protocol and hypertext transfer protocol secure. it’s the basic network protocol of the modern internet. hypertext can be thought of as being html (hypertext markup language) though other hypertext specifications do exist. hypertext just means documents with links to other documents.
you know how when you copy a url (universal resource location) from your web browser it always has http or https at the start of it? that’s because your web browser is connecting to an external server somewhere via the hypertext transfer protocol.
cURL can connext to nearly any server via nearly any standard protocol. it’s commonly used for validating connection information and downloading files
It’s the protocol most computers use to show websites. In an internet address like https://google.com/, the https:// is the protocol. Different protocols have different features and purposes, but http/https are some of the most common.
🤷 it’s kind of just a function of thah activity pub is loosy goosy about how and what to do with it. end of the day it’s the threadiverse that’s weird and we need to just kind of accept these lumps until lemmy/piefed/mbin devs and mastodon/misskey/whatever devs all get on an issue and decide how best to do this
@porn_was_never_the_real_issue@lemmynsfw.com http/https connections means ?

@borf@lemmynsfw.com l need to explore this a lot more. Can you give me some more leads on this ?

First, tell me why you need to know. And please stop pinging that person, it’s really rude to ping someone so many times when not responding to them.
they’re not on the threadiverse, they’re on mastodon where the threading works differently. their software is doing that automatically
