Which http version are supported by Azure OpenAI Service?

Question

Is there any official information available about the HTTP versions supported by Azure OpenAI Service? For example, versions like HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2. I would also like to know if Azure OpenAI Service uses TCP and HTTPS.

Answer 1

UDP does not support HTTPS. HTTPS relies on the TCP protocol because it requires a reliable, ordered, and error-checked connection. UDP, by contrast, is a connectionless protocol that does not provide reliability or ordering, making it unsuitable for HTTPS.

Answer 2

Azure OpenAI Service supports HTTP/1.1 for its REST API calls and uses HTTPS as the protocol for secure communication. All communication occurs over encrypted channels using HTTPS, which operates over TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) for reliable data transmission.
