what is tcp and http
Hi
I want to know what exactly is tcp and http.
As per my understanding we can make a tcp socket between two machines and send data from one machine to other using it.
Http can also be used to communicate with other machine and get response back.
Whats the difference between http and tcp.
If i want to host a service which fetches user some infirmation using http get request, can i do the same thing using tcp ?
When to use tcp and when to use http ?

You use tcp whenever you send data over a network (LAN, WAN, it does not matter).
You use http whenever you want to serve/receive a web page.
