An HTTP server is a computer program that plays the role of a server in a client–server model by implementing the server part of the HTTP and/or HTTPS network protocol.

An HTTP server waits for the incoming client requests and for each request it answers by replying with requested information, including the sending of the requested web resource, or with an HTTP error message.

An HTTP server may also have bindings to manage protocol extensions to HTTP or messages of other protocols enveloped into HTTP messages in order to allow program-to-program communications.

Implementations of an HTTP server may vary in complexity, from a manageable tiny component to a full featured program implementation of HTTP and other protocols, which maybe can run in background, as one or more processes, etc.
