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.

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)

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.
