Stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. Informs your web browser that the file it is going to be opening is in "web page" (HTML) format. The other common protocol is "ftp" (file transfer protocol) which tells the browser to download (or upload) the file instead of opening it. Most browser will default to http if no protocol is listed.
