The rapid growth in the number of Internet users makes Internet accessing speed increasingly slower. When applications that require a large amount of bandwidth, for example, the world wide web, are running through these snail‐like connections, delays and response time are often intolerable. Sometimes, the user's screen is stuck for a long time. World wide web becomes world wide wait. To increase responsiveness, a bandwidth sensitive hypertext transfer protocol is proposed in this paper. This protocol possesses the capability to match the amount and nature of the data transmitted with the amount of bandwidth available in the connection. That is, it tries to keep the communication going meaningfully and responsively as far as the connection bandwidth allows. This protocol can be applied to any situation where the available bandwidth is often inadequate and constantly changing. For example, in wireless networks where the connection bandwidth is limited and often variable, this protocol can be used to decrease response time and increase users’ satisfaction.
