HTTP

By far the most common of these modern rules of love is HTTP, Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The majority of internet courtships are woven through its delicacies. In this modern dance of HTTP there are four sets of rules each governing a different part of the proceedings. They are as follows:

1. Rules for Establishing a Connection - Rules in this set govern the formalities of client-suitor/suited-server first contact.
2. Rules for Client Requests - These rules order the formalities of a client-suitor's first words to the suited-server.
3. Rules for Server Response - Rules in this set dictate the niceties of a suited-server's response to the client-suitor's first words.
4. Rules for Closing a Connection - These rules lay down the courtesies involved in gracefully closing the conversation.
