Oh this is a debate that we had in school a couple of classes ago, lets see if the memory is working or not...

tcp is a communications protocol, transmission control protocol I think, which operates the transport layer and allows the packets of information to make it around the internet from the host to the receiving computer. when paired with the ip protocol, tcp/ip, this is what makes up the backbone of the internet.

http is an access protocol that can use the internet to access the web or web pages. It is a method that the browser software uses to access a particular file or web page on the internet. the web, or web pages and http are technically not the internet, just one of the many types of protocols that can be used to share information on the internet. Another example of one of these access protocols would be ftp.

Thats my two cents and worth every penny....
