The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, where hypertext documents include hyperlinks to other resources that the user can easily access, for example by a mouse click or by tapping the screen in a web browser.
- HTTP is a request–response protocol in the client–server model.
- A transaction starts with a client submitting a request to the server, the server attempts to satisfy the request and returns a response to the client that describes the disposition of the request and optionally contains a requested resource such as an HTML document or other content.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The HTTP article was read about 590,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get HTTP
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
