In the context of an HTTP transaction, basic access authentication is a method for an HTTP user agent (e.g. a web browser) to provide a user name and password when making a request. In basic HTTP authentication, a request contains a header field in the form of Authorization: Basic <credentials> , where <credentials> is the Base64 encoding of ID ...
A core set of fields is standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFC 9110 and 9111. The Field Names, Header Fields and Repository of Provisional Registrations are maintained by the IANA. Additional field names and permissible values may be defined by each application. Header field names are case-insensitive. [4]
Modern POSIX documentation attempts to fix this, defining "character" as a sequence of one or more bytes representing a single graphic symbol or control code, and attempts to use "byte" when referring to char data.

This can be treated as a single date field (e.g. birthdate), or three fields, namely, day of month, month and year. A record is a collection of related fields. An Employee record may contain a name field(s), address fields, birthdate ...
By contrast, a character entity reference refers to a sequence of one or more characters by the name of an entity which has the desired characters as its replacement text. The entity must either be predefined (built into the markup language), or otherwise explicitly declared in a Document Type Definition (DTD) (see [a]). The format is the same ...
In Access it is known as a Yes/No data type [19] which can have two values; Yes (True) or No (False). The BIT data type in Access can also be represented numerically: True is −1 and False is 0. [20] This differs from MS SQL Server in two ways, even though both are Microsoft products: Access represents TRUE as −1, while it is 1 in SQL Server
