Configuring Gateway as an HTTP server (responder)
Configuring Gateway as an HTTP client (initiator)
HTTP is a request-response standard. It is typical of client-server computing. In HTTP, web browsers or spiders typically act as clients, while an application running on the computer hosting the web site acts as a server.
The client, which submits HTTP requests, is also referred to as the user agent. The responding server, which stores or creates resources such as HTML files and images, may be called the origin server. In between the user agent and origin server there may be several intermediaries, such as proxies, gateways, and tunnels.
In Gateway, HTTP is only used to send or retrieve files. Gateway is not a Web Server.
