Hyper-text-transfer protocol.
That's what it stands for, and it's basically just the rules for displaying simple web pages.
The system comprises a "standard data handshake," so that communication among computers is uniform. The goal runs that a page displayed on one computer will look the same as a page displayed on another.
Oh, and that "S" at the end? It stands for "secure"; HTTP with the S is secure HTTP. That is, there is an inspection made by each computer that uncovers whether or not there are naughty things in the data feed coming into or going out of each computer. And no, that's not "naughty" like the "art films" teenagers download late at night.
