HTML:
Hyper-Text Markup Language.
HTTP:
Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol. This is the instruction set used to
transfer web content (HTML and images) normally on port
80. HTTP was not engineered for streaming although it is sometimes
used as a failover to get around firewall's
which would otherwise prevent users viewing streaming
media. The resulting output is not always as good as streaming
via MMS
or RTSP
especially for live events with lots of concurrent
connections.

HTTP Streaming
Streaming over HTTP is not as good as using the protocols which
were specifically engineered for this purpose, however it does have
the advantage of getting around many firewall issues.
