HTTP is the foundation for communication of data on the web. The proliferation of network-enabled applications has increased the use of the HTTP protocol beyond user-driven web browsers.
The HTTPClient class helps build HTTP-aware client applications, such as web browsers and web service clients for distributed communication.
The URL class is a pointer to a resource on the web. A resource can be something as simple as a file or a directory, or it can be a reference to a more complicated object, such as a query to a database or to a search engine.
The HttpURLConnection class helps establish an HTTP connection between the HTTPClient and server.
