I am looking for a tutorial on HTTP Web Request, but I can't seem to find one. Does anyone know a place where I can learn more about it?

HTTP is an application layer protocol (part of TCP/IP suite) that contains web request messages called "get requests" and their responses. A get request usually contains fields such as useragent, hostname, URI etc.

The base RFC should be the best reference
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt

However, if you are not into networking protocols and find it difficult to read RFC's

This article gives a pretty good technical understanding of http as well as references to all kind of material
