+# Apache Arrow HTTP Data Transport
+
+This area of the Apache Arrow Experiments repository is for collaborative prototyping and research on the subject of sending and receiving Arrow-formatted data over HTTP APIs.
+
+The intent of this work is to:
+- Ensure excellent interoperability across languages.
+- Allow implementation within existing HTTP APIs.
+- Maximize performance.
+- Minimize implementation complexity.
+
+The end goal of this work is to inform and guide the creation of a set of conventions to be published in the Arrow documentation.
+
+See the [related discussion on the Arrow developer mailing list](https://lists.apache.org/thread/vfz74gv1knnhjdkro47shzd1z5g5ggnf).

+# HTTP GET Arrow Data: Simple Examples
+
+This directory contains a set of minimal examples of HTTP clients and servers implemented in several languages. These examples demonstrate:
+- How a client can send a GET request to a server and receive a response from the server containing an Arrow IPC stream of record batches.
+- How a server can respond to a GET request from a client and send the client a response containing an Arrow IPC stream of record batches.
+
+To enable performance comparisons to Arrow Flight RPC, the server examples generate the data in exactly the same way as in [`flight_benchmark.cc`](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/7346bdffbdca36492089f6160534bfa2b81bad90/cpp/src/arrow/flight/flight_benchmark.cc#L194-L245) as cited in the [original blog post introducing Flight RPC](https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2019/10/13/introducing-arrow-flight/). But note that Flight example sends four concurrent streams.
+
+If you are collaborating on the set of examples in this directory, please follow these guidelines:
+- Each new example must be implemented as minimally as possible. For example, error handling should be minimized or omitted.
+- Each new client example must be tested to ensure that it works with each existing server example.
+- Each new server example must be tested to ensure that it works with each existing client example.
+- To the greatest extent possible, each new server example should be functionally equivalent to each existing server example (generating equivalent data with the same schema, size, shape, and distribution of values; sending the same HTTP headers; and so on).
+- Each new client example must print timing and size information before exiting. At a minimum this must include the number of seconds elapsed (rounded to the second decimal place) and the number of record batches received.

+# HTTP GET Arrow Data: Simple C++ Client Example
+
+This directory contains a minimal example of an HTTP client implemented in C++. The client:
+1. Sends an HTTP GET request to a server.
+2. Receives an HTTP 200 response from the server, with the response body containing an Arrow IPC stream of record batches.
+3. Collects the record batches as they are received.
+
+To run this example, first start one of the server examples in the parent directory. Then install the `arrow` and `libcurl` C++ libraries, compile `client.cpp`, and run the executable. For example, using `clang++`:
+
+```sh
+clang++ client.cpp -std=c++17 $(pkg-config --cflags --libs arrow libcurl) -o client
+./client
+```
+
+This example requires version 15.0.0 or higher of the Arrow C++ library.
