Therefore, HTTP/1.1 added status codes 303 and 307 to distinguish between the two behaviours. [1]: §15.4 303 See Other (since HTTP/1.1) The response to the request can be found under another URI using the GET method. When received in response to a POST (or PUT/DELETE), the client should presume that the server has received the data and should ...
The request/response message consists of the following: Request line, such as GET /logo.gif HTTP/1.1 or Status line, such as HTTP/1.1 200 OK, Headers; An empty line; Optional HTTP message body data; The request/status line and headers must all end with <CR><LF> (that is, a carriage return followed by a line feed).
A de facto standard for identifying the original host requested by the client in the Host HTTP request header, since the host name and/or port of the reverse proxy (load balancer) may differ from the origin server handling the request. Superseded by Forwarded header. X-Forwarded-Host: en.wikipedia.org:8080. X-Forwarded-Host: en.wikipedia.org
In HTTP/1.0 and since, the first line of the HTTP response is called the status line and includes a numeric status code (such as "404") and a textual reason phrase (such as "Not Found"). The response status code is a three-digit integer code representing the result of the server's attempt to understand and satisfy the client's corresponding ...
HTTP header injection is a general class of web application security vulnerability which occurs when Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) headers are dynamically generated based on user input. Header injection in HTTP responses can allow for HTTP response splitting , session fixation via the Set-Cookie header, cross-site scripting (XSS), and ...
The general format of the field is: [2] X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2 where the value is a comma+space separated list of IP addresses, the left-most being the original client, and each successive proxy that passed the request adding the IP address where it received the request from.
In HTTP, "Referer" (a misspelling of "Referrer" [1]) is an optional HTTP header field that identifies the address of the web page (i.e., the URI or IRI) from which the resource has been requested. By checking the referrer, the server providing the new web page can see where the request originated.
HTTP/2 leaves all of HTTP/1.1's high-level semantics, such as methods, status codes, header fields, and URIs, the same. What is new is how the data is framed and transported between the client and the server. [13]
