Students have asked these similar questions
What is the difference between network applications and application layer protocols?
Both HTTP and FTP can be used for downloading and uploading files. Give one similarity and one difference between the two protocols.
What is the purpose of the IF-MODIFIED-SINCE field in an HTTP GET message?
Describe the HTTP protocol, indicating clearly the distinction between HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. How can state be maintained with HTTP?
The original HTTP protocol used TCP/IP as the underlying network
protocol. For each page, graphic, or applet, a separate TCP session was
constructed, used, and torn down. Because of the overhead of building
and destroying TCP/IP connections, performance problems resulted
from this implementation method. Would using UDP rather than TCP
be a good alternative? What other changes could you make to improve
HTTP performance?
