http vs WWW

What is difference between http & WWW?
I'm not looking for the definition of both the terms.
Some time we use or browser redirect to
http:// www . web-site . com
But some time for other site
http:// web-site . com
Both use port 80 for TCP & UDP. Then what is the technique or theory behind it.
Please explain.

Re: http vs WWW

Hi,

I think, v cant compare http and www,...where http is a protocol used to access the www (html) pages.

But, diff on http://www.web-site.com and http://web-site.com is,...i tried it practically,...i couldn't find the difference in the traffic. For both, the captured packets are showing the same details,...nslookup also resolving the same ipaddress. (N)

Re: http vs WWW

http mean the browser will use http protocol to communicate with that site, but www, only a naming standard, means the server is a webserver. In DNS there would be A records pointing to that site's IP for both site name & site name prefixed with www ie. www.yahoo.com and yahoo.com resolves to same IP. So, www is only the prefix added to website's name to logically categorize it as a website. Its only upto the owner of the site to add it or not.
