I was using sockets to connect my android application to a server for sending messages. I am now trying to use an HTTP connection. The problem is, which one, and what must appear (HttpClient, HttpPost etc...), I have seen dozens of examples and I am struggling to understand them. I have heard the phrase handshake and all of the buzz words get, post... etc, but havent grasped at which point each is occouring.
I am simply asking for a basic insight into how an http connection is formed and then how we use the methods to send and recieve.
Thanks for any advice.
