HTTP Essentials: Protocols for Secure, Scaleable Web Sites
Product Description
The first complete reference guide to the essential Web protocol As applications and services converge and Web technologies not only assume HTTP but require developers to manipulate it, it is becoming increasingly crucial for network managers, Web masters, and anyone working with HTTP to understand the nuts and bolts of this most prevalent Web protocol. This book provides complete documentation and explanation of the protocol, including advanced and experimental extensions. Readers will get core guidance on implementing HTTP 1. 1 in their products, including how to accelerate HTTP in large scale Web sites, how to secure it, and how to handle compatibility issues with versions 0. 9 and 1. 0. HTTP switching and invisible HTTP operations such as option negotiations, status checks, and path tracing are also examined.

An excellent book for learning HTTP and much more about how web servers work at the protocol level. What you can learn in a few hours from this book is amazing because it is organized so well, the author is a gifted teacher with an excellent roadmap of what he wants to present, and the hierarchy of overview and detail is so well designed. The book covers the context in which the HTTP protocol resides, the details of HTTP itself, and then branches into important usages of HTTP for creating secure, reliable and scalable web sites.
Get this book. It reads a whole lot better than the spec. The language is so straightforward that your grandmother might enjoy reading it too. It comes with a dictionary of exception codes too, so you’ll never be left scratching your head if a few important message packets begin to burp on their way to Paris via Kuala Lumpur.
I,as a university student with great interest to HTTP,borrow this book from school library. This book gives me basic and clear concept about http operations between client and server and stuff behind the scene. a list of explanation of http message and header is heleful too. later, the author writes very detail about proxy server,caching server and how the webserver are build for serious commercial use. I am able to finish 2/3 of this book in 3 days. it’s so interesting and keeps me reading on. This is definitely a book to get you start with all kind of term for HTTP and a grasp for HTTP/Webserver concept. for ppl with solid backgroud on HTTP, i would recommend the “HTTP: The Definitive Guide”.
