There are a few advantages to using HTTP to perform the above. HTTP is a well studied cross-platform protocol and there are mature implementations freely available. HTTP is seldom blocked by firewalls and intranet routers. HTTP clients (e.g. [[web browser]]s) are readily available with all modern computers. There is a growing tendency of using embedded HTTP servers in applications that parallels the rising trends of home-networking and [[ubiquitous computing]].
