Hi,

chances are that people will not look into the protocol facet at all if they do
not know what HTTP is. I think that a certain level of knowledge just has to be
assumed here, otherwise it'll turn off the "more advanced" users; and while most
people might not know what HTTP means, they might know that "it has something to
do with Firefox/Mozilla/Internet Explorer", and Hypertext Transfer Protocol"
might not help much there.

Anyway, if we can agree on the description contents here, I'm going to create a
patch and put it up for public discussion tomorrow (I'll be more careful in
wording the long descriptions this time), because I just found out that I won't
have classes tomorrow.

greetings

Torsten
