HTTP/2 [2] and HTTP/3 instead use a binary protocol, where headers are encoded in a single HEADERS and zero or more CONTINUATION frames using HPACK [3] (HTTP/2) or QPACK (HTTP/3), which both provide efficient header compression. The request or response line from HTTP/1 has also been replaced by several pseudo-header fields, each beginning with ...
Standard response for successful HTTP requests. The actual response will depend on the request method used. In a GET request, the response will contain an entity corresponding to the requested resource. In a POST request, the response will contain an entity describing or containing the result of the action. 201 Created
A full example of a WSGI network server is outside the scope of this article. Below is a sketch of how one would call a WSGI application and retrieve its HTTP status line, response headers, and response body, as Python objects. [10] Details of how to construct the environ dict have been omitted.
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).
Under HTTP 1.0, connections should always be closed by the server after sending the response. [1]Since at least late 1995, [2] developers of popular products (browsers, web servers, etc.) using HTTP/1.0, started to add an unofficial extension (to the protocol) named "keep-alive" in order to allow the reuse of a connection for multiple requests/responses.
Each response header field has a defined meaning which can be further refined by the semantics of the request method or response status code. HTTP/1.1 example of request / response transaction Below is a sample HTTP transaction between an HTTP/1.1 client and an HTTP/1.1 server running on www.example.com , port 80.
When the server wants the user agent to authenticate itself towards the server after receiving an unauthenticated request, it must send a response with a HTTP 401 Unauthorized status line [7] and a WWW-Authenticate header field. [8] The WWW-Authenticate header field for basic authentication is constructed as following:
A SCGI request is the concatenation of netstring-encoded headers and a body. A SCGI response is a normal HTTP response. Each header consists of a name–value pair, where both the name and the value are null-terminated strings . The value can be an empty string, in which case the terminating null still remains.
