The first line above, HTTP/1.1 200 OK, means that the requested web page is available. Other codes may also be returned. For example, the code 404 means the server cannot find the requested page.
When found, the web page is sent via TCP as a series of data packets, each with a header that specifies its destination and its order in the data stream. The various packets can take different paths to reach their destination.

http is just a transfer protocol that is used to let the data travel from and to as requested or necessary . There are other protocols like ftp too that work like this .An extension mechanism for HTTP designed to address the tension between private agreement and public specification and to accommodate extension of HTTP clients and servers by software components.Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a method used to transfer or convey information on the World Wide Web. Its original purpose was to provide a way to publish and retrieve HTML pages.
