Hyper Text Transfer Protocol? That doesn't seem to be working as an answer.

Hey Daniel,

that's the correct answer! But note that "Hyper Text" is already filled out for you, so you just have to add "Transfer Protocol".

I hope that helps! :)

Thanks Tobias...the HyperText part looked like it was put together without a space, so when I typed in the answer without a space, TransferProtocol, I didn't realize that the answer needed to be laid down on two lines, i.e., ________ ________

I'm glad you got it working! :) But just by the way: HyperText doesn't only look like it's put together, it actually is. It can be a bit confusing because you might think that because of the abbreviation it's "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol" but the correct version would be "Hyper*text **Transfer **P*rotocol".
