HTTP is a protocol that functions on top of TCP/IP. Theoretically, HTTP could run on top of other transport protocols of equivalent functionality, but in practice it doesn't happen as TCP and IP are matter-of-fact standards, due to a huge installed base.
Basically the TCP/IP protocol pair is currently the backbone of the internet and the huge investment in settings things up for it makes it unlikely to be replaced any time soon.
That being said it should be theoretically possible to have HTTP run on top of some other transport-layer protocol, but it's more likely to happen on a private network than on the Internet, if it happens at all.

The most commonly used internet protocol is?
The commonly used protocols are the TCP/IP protocol suite. This is a set of protocols that work together, not a single protocol.

HTTP
What is the standard port for HTTP?
TCP port 80
Does http use tcp or udp?
http needs a reliable mechanism to provide connectivity between the Host i.e. the web browser and the Server i.e the web server. Now TCP is the transport layer protocol that provides it reliable communication with three-way handshake mechanism it uses to connect between a client and a server. We also have UDP at transport layer but it is not reliable way of communicating. So http uses TCP at transport layer of OSI Model.
