Network Programming

HTTP is the foundational protocol for exchanging information across the World Wide Web. With HTTP Succinctly, you'll learn all about something you use on a daily basis, perhaps without realizing what goes on behind the scenes. You'll quickly learn about resources, requests and responses, safe and unsafe methods, connections, cookies, security, and so much more. Equipped with the information in this book, you'll be able to write better web apps and services, and debug them when something goes wrong.

This is a detailed document describing HTTP/2 (RFC 7540), the background, concepts, protocol and something about existing implementations and what the future might hold.

The new HTTP/2 standard is finally here. Approved earlier this year, HTTP/2 adds a new binary framing layer that will help make applications faster, simpler, and more robust. This chapter from the new release of High Performance Browser Networking provides a brief look at this updated protocol and explains how it will reduce latency, minimize protocol overhead, and add support for request prioritization and server push.

This is a detailed document describing HTTP/2 (RFC 9114), the background, concepts, protocol and something about existing implementations and what the future might hold.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) allows information to be exchanged between a web server and a web browser. Java allows you to program HTTP directly. HTTP programming allows you to create programs that access the web much like a human user would. These programs, which are called bots, can collect information or automate common web programming tasks. This book presents a collection of very reusable recipes for Java bot programming.
