Answer
Raw TCP sockets establish the foundational connection over which HTTP protocols operate.
A raw TCP socket is used to establish a connection between two endpoints, enabling data transfer. In HTTP communication, these sockets provide the underlying transport layer. For example, when a Java HttpClient sends a request, it relies on TCP sockets to connect with the server before HTTP headers and data are transmitted.
