HTTP is a single-transaction text-based data transfer protocol using the request-and-respond method.  Following with the client-server model of peer communications, a ''client'' constitutes software that makes requests, an example of which is a typical [[Web_browser|web browser]].  ''Servers'' accept connections and requests from clients and return the results to the client, often with intermediate processing that determines the content to return, or modifies content to return.  Software such as MediaWiki used by [[Conservapedia]] runs on the server and performs this intermediate processing.  Software on the server may also act as a client in the case of a reverse proxy for load balancing, or to obtain content from other servers, as is commonly done in the fight against internet spam.
