So i can't completly understand how does the api itself work a also i can't get to work the other side (the site code). I know that i'm asking about html but this is the best place to get answer. Isn't it? Thank you.

If you are taking about
http, you can't/shouldn't use html. http.get returns the raw source code of the webpage.
Take, for example, pastebin. The url the pastebin get command uses is something like this:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=3eMtT5vX.
You can, however, use PHP and http.post to "communicate" between a site and an in game script.

Bear in mind the wiki has examples for each of the http API's functions:

In ComputerCraft's config file, make sure the domain is accessible by the http API. By default, most aren't.

Don't you have to include the http:// part? I've seen it in every working http call.
Try "
http://www.google.com" or "
https://www.google.com"

I dunno, but I'd hope not, given that all that's there for is to specify the protocol - which, if you're using the http API, is already a given.

Yes, AFAIK "http
://" part is required.
Please note that HTTP API returns Nil when request fails (and throws "http_failure" event) - That's why You are getting "attempt to index ?" exception. Also, google may not be the best website to use for testing - it is rather picky about all data sent within HTTP requests.
