This class of status code indicates the client must take additional action to complete the request. Many of these status codes are used in URL redirection. [2]A user agent may carry out the additional action with no user interaction only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD.
The user agent string format is currently specified by section 10.1.5 of HTTP Semantics. The format of the user agent string in HTTP is a list of product tokens (keywords) with optional comments. For example, if a user's product were called WikiBrowser, their user agent string might be WikiBrowser/1.0 Gecko/1.0. The "most important" product ...
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 The request or response line from HTTP/1 has also been replaced by several pseudo-header fields, each beginning with ...
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).
Most modern server-side scripting languages and runtimes, like PHP since version 5.1.2 [1] and Node.js since 4.6.0 (previous versions supported it, but the protection could've been bypassed, which was discovered in 2016) [2] as well as Web frameworks, such as Django since version 1.8.4 [3] support sanitization of HTTP responses against this ...
Starting with HTML 4.0, forms can also submit data in multipart/form-data as defined in RFC 2388 (See also RFC 1867 for an earlier experimental version defined as an extension to HTML 2.0 and mentioned in HTML 3.2). The special case of a POST to the same page that the form belongs to is known as a postback.
An issue inherent to indiscriminate link prefetching involves the misuse of "safe" HTTP methods.The HTTP GET and HEAD requests are said to be "safe", i.e., a user agent that issues one of these requests should expect that the request results in no change on the recipient server. [13]
Diagram of a double POST problem encountered in user agents. Diagram of the double POST problem above being solved by PRG. Post/Redirect/Get (PRG) is a web development design pattern that lets the page shown after a form submission be reloaded, shared, or bookmarked without ill effects, such as submitting the form another time.
