1.4 Relationship to Other Protocols

  • Article

This protocol uses either an HTTP connection or an HTTPS connection between the client and server. A TCP/IP network transports messages between a client and server by using either the HTTP protocol or the HTTPS protocol, by means of a series of request and response calls. The protocol specified in [MS-ASCMD] uses this protocol as a transport.

For conceptual background information and overviews of the relationships and interactions between this and other protocols, see [MS-OXPROTO].
