TCP/IP : Transmission control protocol / Internet Protocol
HTTP: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
HTTP runs on top of TCP/IP. TCP is responsible for making
sure that a file sent from one network node to another ends
up as a complete file at the destination, even though the
file is split into chunks when it is sent. IP is the
underlying protocol that moves or routes the chunks/packets
from one host to another on their way to the destination.
HTTP then is another network protocol that has web -specific
features, but it depends on TCP / IP to get the complete
request and response from one place to another. The
structure of an HTTP conversation is a simple Request/
Response sequence; a browser requests, and a server responds.

Answer / nizam
In order to fetch a web page for you, your web browser must
"talk" to a web server and when web browsers talk to web
servers, they speak a language known as HTTP.
TCP/IP is a basic communication language or protocol of the
internet. It can also be used as a communications protocol
in a private network (either intranet, extranet)

Answer / alex
1. TCP is a core operates a relatively high level; HTTP is an Application Layer protocol that is a request/response standard found in client server computing.
2. TCP provides communication services at an intermediate level between an application program and the IP; in HTTP there are a series of sessions in which the client sends a request and the server sends a reply message back to the client including the request, an error message, or another piece of information.

Answer / cdeepakmca,pgcollg,secbad
Your question is actually asked in an incorrect format.
There is really only a difference between FTP & HTTP
protocols. However, both protocols are part of the TCP/IP
suite. So in reality FTP and HTTP are 2 different
protocols, as FTP is a a file transfer protocol opposed to
HTTP which is hyper-text (a hyper text transfer protocol).
