An
HTTP
request line is a single line of
data
that an
HTTP client
sends to a
server
when requesting a
document
.
Syntax:
(request-method) (URI)
HTTP/
(version)
Examples:
GET / HTTP/1.0
GET /~docs/tutorial.pdf HTTP/1.0
GET /profiles/john.html HTTP/1.0
POST /cgi-bin/name HTTP/1.0
(request-method)
The request method tells the server what the client wants it to do. There are three different request methods supported under HTTP 1.0.
GET
This is the
most common
request method. The GET method tells the server that
the client wants a document
. When you type http://www.everything2.com into the
address bar
your
browser
connects to
port 80
of www.everything2.com and issues the request line
GET / HTTP/1.0
.
HEAD
Similar to GET however the server will only send the
response headers
, not the actual document. Among it's many uses are:
Link verification
Obtain
file info
Obtain
server info
POST
This method is used to tell the server that it will be recieving data for a
CGI
program. The client sends a request line (using the POST method..duh.), followed by a
content-length
line, any other
HTTP headers
, a
blank line
, and finally the data to be processed by the CGI program.
(URI)
The
URI
in this case is a
partial URI
. It is the path from the server to the file that the client is requesting. It will be the
URL
with the
protocol
,
host
, and
port number
stripped off.
URL:
http://ret004l9.eresmas.net/bigfeet/bigfeet.html
partial URI:
/bigfeet/bigfeet.html
(version)
The HTTP version being used on the server. Generally this will be 1.0 however more and more servers are supporting HTTP 1.1.
