Correction: Message Format
I've found out that the sentence The client and server communicate by sending plain-text (ASCII) messages is not right as it should be. Only the header is in plain text (ASCII), but not the body. The body must keep its own coding. In the case of binary files it's the binary coding we have to keep. Please correct the sentence stated above to fit therules in everyday webserver programming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:59:c33:ed00:a844:fb11:223c:a4b (talk) 12:42, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
Should the history section be moved to first position? (05 November 2021)
I have noted that many wiki articles start with the "History" section soon after the summary, so I ask you the following question.
Would it be a good idea to move "History" section before "Technical overview" section? Ade56facc 23:59, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
Why is there so much bold text?
The article contains a lot of bold text. What is the purpose of this styling? May I remove most of it? Anton.bersh (talk) 19:59, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- I tried to remove most of the extra bolded text (and replace with links when possible), and improve the accessibility/formatting of the page using description lists. Hope this helps. :) SamanthaNguyen (talk) 21:29, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
I agree alot should be removed as much of the emphasis is quite useless. Go WP:BOLD :) Strangerpete (talk) 01:51, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Hypertext Transfer Protocol → HTTP – The acronym, HTTP, as far more common than the full name, and should be the title per MOS:ACROTITLE. Related articles like HTML, XML, PHP, CSS, API (the list is too big to name them all) use acronyms. Even HTTPS uses an acronym, so it's weird that HTTP doesn't. Zerbu 💬 01:44, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

- Support move. Although it's hard to judge the common name in a case like this, "HTTP" is so well known that it's almost certainly common. O.N.R. (talk) 12:13, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
