DESCRIPTION

If you're interested in building a web server -- or if you're developing an application that depends or will depend on current HTTP protocols -- Illustrated Guide to HTTP is for you! It covers the latest HTTP/1.1 protocol standard as found in RFC 2068 and RFC 2069. Any programmer, developer or web manager involved in web-related software needs this book to keep up with this dynamic area.

What's inside:

• Detailed coverage of the protocol specification
• Working code for all parts of an HTTP/1.1 server
• Detailed coverage of difficult protocol elements
• A CD which includes complete working source code; a complete set of RFCs; Apache, Jigsaw, and libwww distributions; a hypertext index of information; and complete text of the book in HTML format.
