HTTP Request is a standard protocol for sending and receiving data between a client and a server over the internet. It is a simple way to communicate between different systems, allowing clients to request resources from servers.

cURL, on the other hand, is a command-line tool used for transferring data between different servers, websites, and web services. It is used for uploading and downloading files, transferring data using a variety of protocols, and debugging network issues.

In Windows 10, HTTP requests can be made using different programming languages like Python and Java, while cURL can be used through a terminal or integrated into programming languages using libraries like libcurl.

Overall, while both HTTP requests and cURL are used for communication between different systems, they serve different purposes and are used in different contexts.
