As several members have already stated, HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, which is the language that the websites are wriiten in. This is certainly not redundant and plays a major part in the process. If you have web space and transfer files from your computer to the online server then you will use FTP which is File Transfer Protocol. In this case the prefix FTP// will appear in the URL instead. It is important for the browser to know whether to display the files as icons or to read their instructions and display a webpage.

http stands for hyper text transfer protocol. it is a kind of protocol designed to communicate over internet between different servers and client machines. so almost every website is designed to follow the same protocol
