Just as a reminder, please read section 2.2 of the book by October 14th lecture. Anything you find difficult or requiring more explanation, please add it as a comment to this entry.
Next lecture will explain how the World Wide Web service works and the different components it is made of, including the application protocol HTTP.
It would be also interesting to read something about the RFC's related to HTTP like the first (serious) attempt (http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt) or the newer one.
ReplyDeletePs: The person in the photo is Tim Berners-Lee, the ideator of the HTTP/HTML protocols.
No RFC reading required, but if you want to, you'll find HTTP 1.0 simpler and easier (RFC1945).
