I know this question sounds crazy. It is common sense that HTTP is
based on client-server model. If I want to use HTTP, I have to setup a
server. However, it is unpopular to setup an additional server inside
of a corporate network. So my question is, is it possible for 2 PCs to
communicate with each other with HTTP protocol, while none of them is
set as HTTP server?
Sure. All of the basic communications protocols can be utilized
manually, or in scripts, with tools like the TCP functions of
bash and other advanced shells, netcat (nc) and telnet.
....and, of course, none of these tools mitigate the need for a process
listening on the network for HTTP requests, which is what the OP is
trying to avoid. So your post is basically less than useless for the
OP.
