How HTTP Works
Overview
Hypertext transfer protocol provides a way for clients such as web browsers to communicate with web servers. There's quite a bit on the web that's written on the topic, so for the time being we'll just provide some good links for you:
- Try the first three chapters of Web Client Programming with Perl. It's an older book, but provides one of the best tutorials on HTTP we've found.
- If you're interested in the nitty-gritty details, try looking over the w3c's HTTP/1.0 Specification and HTTP/1.1 Draft Specification Revision 6.
