HTTP

The HyperText Transfer Protocol is used by browsers and other User-Agents to perform actions on the web. HTTP version 1.1 is defined in rfc2616.

Example

You can communicate with a non-encrypted HTTP 1.1 server using a tool like netcat.

> nc example.org 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
 

Once you send the empty line you should receive the response from the server.
