Making an HTTP request to Google

In the URL bar, I'm going to type http://google.com. We can click Send to send off that request. Make sure you have GET chosen as your HTTP method. When I fire off the request, it comes back, and all of the data that comes back is shown in the white space:

We have things like the Status code; we have a 200, meaning things went great; we have the Time, which took about a quarter of a second; we have Headers, which are coming back from Google; we have Cookies, but there's none in this case; and we have our Body data. The body for google.com is an HTML website. For the most part, the bodies that we'll be sending and getting in Postman are going to be JSON since we're building out the REST API.
