Answer ALL questions

PART A (10 x 2 =20 marks)
1.What is the primary function of an HTTP server?

HTTP servers provide function that monitors a URL that is part of the web site
(for example, your home page) and will take recovery action if the web server is
no longer serving the web content. For example, the monitor function will try to
end and start the web server or may initiate a switch-over to move the HTTP
server function to the backup node in the cluster.
2.What is the difference between an absolute pathname and a realative pathname?
Absolute pathnames are similar to file references, but rather than referring to a file on your
computer, they refer to a file on the web server. Absolute references will always start with a
single slash—/—or http://. Whereas the relative pathnames are relative to the location of the
file that contains them. Relative pathnames are typically shorter than the other two types.
Example:
/group51/Smith/images/aliens.jpg is an absolute pathname.
images/aliens.jpg is a relative pathname.
3. For each of the following, write down the value that will be stored in result
double result;
int num1=5,num2=12,num3=2;
double val1=5.0,val2=12.0,val3=2.0;
(a).result=num1*num3*4%num2/val3;
(b).result=num1+++++num2;
The value of double result=12.0;
4.What is an important difference between writing a Java application and a Java

Applet?
1. An applet runs under the control of a browser, whereas an application runs stand-alone,
with the support of a virtual machine. As such, an applet is subjected to more stringent
security restrictions in terms of file and network access, whereas an application can have free
reign over these resources.
2. Applets are great for creating dynamic and interactive web applications, but
the true power of Java lies in writing full blown applications. With the limitation of
disk and network access, it would be difficult to write commercial applications
(though through the user of server based file systems, not impossible). However,
a Java application has full network and local file system access, and its potential
is limited only by the creativity of its developers.
5. What is the benefit of using Java script code in an HTML document?
Benefit of using Java script code in an HTML document
• Clean, lightweight and extremely fast loading.
• Familiar interface allows to jumpstart
• Easy to learn and use.
• All essential code editing features are right at their place.
• Fully customizable text editor, menus, toolbars, shortcut keys.
• Efficiently reuse common code fragments.
6. For the following form, write down the Javascript code to swap the contents of the two
text boxes
Code to swap the contents of the two textboxes

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function swap (A, B) {
alert ("swap");
var temp=document.DAForm.A.value;
alert ("A"+temp);
document.DAForm.A.value=document.DAForm.B.value;
document.DAForm.B.value=temp;
}
</script>
</head>
<FORM NAME="DAForm">
<body>
Input text1 :< INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="A">
Input text2 :< INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="B">
<input type="button" name="but" onClick="swap (A, B)">
</body>
</FORM>
</html>
7. Which function can be used to create an alert popup dialog box? Write an
example to create an Alert popup box.
alert () function can be used to create an alert popup dialog box.
Example
<html>
<head>
function compute ()
{
alert ("Enter the phone no");
}
</script>
</head>
<form >
<body>
Enter the Text<input type="text" name="telno">
<input type="submit" value="Calculate" onClick="compute ()">
</body>
</form>
</html>
8. State the commands in cascading style sheet used for grouping of elements.
Style1:H1, H2, H4 {color: purple ;}
Style: H2, H3 {background: green ;}
Style: H1 {background: white ;}
The first two style shows that the same style can be applied to more than one element.
Combining all the styles it clearly shows that there are possibilities to apply more than one
style to an element or group of elements.
9. What is servlet? How do you compare servlet and traditional CGI programs?
Servlet
A Servlet is a Java object that is based on Servlet framework and extends the functionality of
a web server basically being responsible for creating dynamic contents. A Servlet is mapped
to a corresponding URL and its life-cycle is managed by the container. The URL is the
address to which a client send HTTP request.
CGI versus Servlet
Written in C, C++, Visual
CGI Servlet
1. Written in C, C++, Visual Basic and Perl Written in Java
2. Platform and application specific Platform independent and portable
10. How can you create JDBC statement?
Statement object is created from the Connection object. This Statement object can be used to
execute queries and updates on the database.
Statement s = c.createStatement (); Two methods of JDBC statement Create
a Statement object, and then uses that Statement object's executeQuery
method to execute the query SELECT * FROM books. The executeUpdate method
is to insert a new row into the books table.
PART B (5 x 16 = 80)
11.(a) List the five layers used by the Internet. For each layer you list, give the
general purpose of each layer as well as a current implementation (16)
5 Layers of the Internet

Computers on the Internet are connected by various networks. The complexity of networking
is addressed by dividing the Internet into many layers. The International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) developed a 7 layer network model (Application, Presentation,
Session, Transport, Network, Data Link and Physical layers) long before the Internet has
gained popularity. The 7 layer model has been revised to a 5 layer TCP/IP based Internet
Model (Application, Transport, Internet, Network, and Physical layers).
Application Layer Application layer defines generic available network applications or
services the Internet can support. See the table below for widely used network applications
and the corresponding network protocols.
Protocol
Application
Web HTTP
Email SMTP
File Transfer FTP
Application layer is the top layer of the OSI (Open System Interconnectivity) server layer
model. This layer handles issues like network transparency, resource allocation and problem
partitioning. The application layer is concerned with the user's view of network (e.g.
formatting electronic mail messages). The presentation layer provides the application layer
with a familiar local representation of data independent of the format used on the network.
The application layer provides the interface to the communications environment which is
used by the application process. It is responsible for communicating application process
parameters.
Application layer falls under the "host layers" in the OSI topologies used in network
communication and it is also the top layer in the Internet model. The host layer also provide
for accurate delivery of data between computers in the network.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Layer This layer concerns how data can be reliably
transferred over the network. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is used when speed of data
transmission is more important than reliability.
The Transport Layer provides transparent transfer of data between end users, providing
reliable data transfer services to the upper layers. The transport layer controls the reliability
of a given link through flow control, segmentation/desegmentation, and error control. Some
protocols are state and connection oriented. This means that the transport layer can keep
track of the segments and retransmit those that fail.
Internet Protocol (IP) Layer This layer handles address and routing of the network. The
Network Layer provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variable length
data sequences from a source to a destination via one or more networks, while maintaining
the quality of service requested by the Transport Layer. The Network Layer performs
network routing functions, and might also perform fragmentation and reassembly, and report
delivery errors. Routers operate at this layer—sending data throughout the extended network
and making the Internet possible. This is a logical addressing scheme – values are chosen by
the network engineer. The addressing scheme is hierarchical.
The best-known example of a Layer 3 protocol is the Internet Protocol (IP). It manages the
connectionless transfer of data one hop at a time, from end system to ingress router, to router
to router, and from egress router to destination end system. It is not responsible for reliable
delivery to a next hop, but only for the detection of errored packets so they may be discarded.
When the medium of the next hop cannot accept a packet in its current length, IP is
responsible for fragmenting into sufficiently small packets that the medium can accept it.
Local Network Access Protocol (NAP) Layer This is the part of your system that is
concerned with how you communicate with your local network, whether is Ethernet or token
ring. The Data Link Layer provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data
between network entities and to detect and possibly correct errors that may occur in the
Physical Layer. Originally, this layer was intended for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint
media, characteristic of wide area media in the telephone system. Local area network
architecture, which included broadcast-capable multiaccess media, was developed
independently of the ISO work, in IEEE Project 802. IEEE work assumed sublayering and
management functions not required for WAN use. In modern practice, only error detection,
not flow control using sliding window, is present in modern data link protocols such as
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), and, on local area networks, the IEEE 802.2 LLC layer is not
used for most protocols on Ethernet, and, on other local area networks, its flow control and
acknowledgment mechanisms are rarely used. Sliding window flow control and
acknowledgment is used at the transport layers by protocols such as TCP, but is still used in
niches where X.25 offers performance advantages.
Physical Layer This is the physical connection whether using a Network Interface Card
(NIC) or with a modem to connect to the local network. The Physical Layer defines all the
electrical and physical specifications for devices. In particular, it defines the relationship
between a device and a physical medium. This includes the layout of pins, voltages, cable
specifications, Hubs, repeaters, network adapters, Host Bus Adapters (HBAs used in Storage
Area Networks) and more.
To understand the function of the Physical Layer in contrast to the functions of the Data Link
Layer, think of the Physical Layer as concerned primarily with the interaction of a single
device with a medium, where the Data Link Layer is concerned more with the interactions of
multiple devices (i.e., at least two) with a shared medium. The Physical Layer will tell one
device how to transmit to the medium, and another device how to receive from it (in most
cases it does not tell the device how to connect to the medium). Obsolescent Physical Layer
standards such as RS-232 do use physical wires to control access to the medium.
The major functions and services performed by the Physical Layer are:
• Establishment and termination of a connection to a communications medium.
• Participation in the process whereby the communication resources are effectively
shared among multiple users. For example, contention resolution and flow control.
Modulation, or conversion between the representation of digital data in user equipment and
the corresponding signals transmitted over a communications channel. These are signals
operating over the physical cabling (such as copper and optical fiber) or over a radio link.
(or)
(b) Explain the concept of TCP data transmission (16)
TCP data transmission
Connection Establishment and Termination
TCP provides a connection-oriented service over packet switched networks. Connection-
oriented implies that there is a virtual connection between two endpoints.3 There are three
phases in any virtual connection. These are the connection establishment, data transfer and
connection termination phases.
2.1 Three-Way Handshake
Connection Establishment
In order for two hosts to communicate using TCP they must first establish a connection by
exchanging messages in what is known as the three-way handshake. The diagram below
depicts the process of the three-way handshake.
Host A initiates the connection by sending a TCP segment with the SYN control
bit set and an initial sequence number (ISN) we represent as the variable x in
the sequence number field.
At some moment later in time, Host B receives this SYN segment, processes it
and responds with a TCP segment of its own. The response from Host B contains
the SYN control bit set and its own ISN represented as variable y. Host B also
sets the ACK control bit to indicate the next expected byte from Host A should
contain data starting with sequence number x+1.
When Host A receives Host B's ISN and ACK, it finishes the connection
establishment phase by sending a final acknowledgement segment to Host B. In
this case, Host A sets the ACK control bit and indicates the next expected byte
from Host B by placing acknowledgement number y+1 in the acknowledgement
field.
Data Transfer
Once ISNs have been exchanged, communicating applications can transmit data
between each other. A simple TCP implementation will place segments into the
network for a receiver as long as there is data to send and as long as the sender
does not exceed the window advertised by the receiver. As the receiver accepts
and processes TCP segments, it sends back positive acknowledgements,
indicating where in the byte stream it is. These acknowledgements also contain
the "window" which determines how many bytes the receiver is currently willing
to accept. If data is duplicated or lost, a "hole" may exist in the byte stream. A
receiver will continue to acknowledge the most current contiguous place in the
byte stream it has accepted.
If there is no data to send, the sending TCP will simply sit idly by waiting for the
application to put data into the byte stream or to receive data from the other
end of the connection.
If data queued by the sender reaches a point where data sent will exceed the
receiver's advertised window size, the sender must halt transmission and wait
for further acknowledgements and an advertised window size that is greater
than zero before resuming.
Timers are used to avoid deadlock and unresponsive connections. Delayed
transmissions are used to make more efficient use of network bandwidth by
sending larger "chunks" of data at once rather than in smaller individual pieces.
Connection Termination
In order for a connection to be released, four segments are required to
completely close a connection. Four segments are necessary due to the fact that
TCP is a full-duplex protocol, meaning that each end must shut down
independently.
TCP Connection Termination
Notice that instead of SYN control bit fields, the connection termination phase
uses the FIN control bit fields to signal the close of a connection.
To terminate the connection, the application running on Host A signals TCP to
close the connection. This generates the first FIN segment from Host A to Host B.
When Host B receives the initial FIN segment, it immediately acknowledges the
segment and notifies its destination application of the termination request. Once
the application on Host B also decides to shut down the connection, it then
sends its own FIN segment, which Host A will process and respond with an
acknowledgement.
12.(a) Write a program in Java that determines and prints the number of odd, even
and zero digits in an integer value read from the keyboard (16)
Program to determine the number of odd, even, zero digits
import java.io.*;
class BRReadLines {
public static void main (String args [])
throws IOException
{
Buffered Reader br = new Buffered Reader (new
InputStreamReader (System. in));
String str;
int digit, no;
int odd=0, even=0, zero=0;
str = br.readLine ();
System.out.println (str);
no=Integer.parseInt (str);
while (no > 0)
{
digit=no % 10;
no=no/10;
System.out.println ("DIGIT"+digit);
if(digit==0){
zero++;
}
if (digit%2==0 && digit!=0){
even++;
}
if (digit%2==1){
odd++;
}
}
System.out.println ("Number of Zero digits:” zero);
System.out.println ("Number of odd digits:” odd);
System.out.println ("Number of even digits:” even);
}
}
(or)
(b) What is the use of the applet? Explain its lifecycle with an example (16)
The Applet states are
Initialization State
Applet enters the initialization state when it is first loaded. This is achieved by
calling the init() method of Applet class. The applet is born. At this stage, do the following
things, if required
1. Create objects needed by the Applet.
2. Setup initial values.
3. Load images or fonts.
4. Set up colors.
5. The initialization occurs only once in the applet’s life cycle.
Running State
Applet enters the running state when the system calls the start() method of Applet
class. This occurs automatically after the applet is initialized. Starting can also occur if the
applet is already in ‘stopped’ (idle) state.
Idle or Stopped State
An apple becomes idle when it is stopped from running. Stopping occurs
automatically when the page leaves the currently running applet. By calling the stop()
method explicitly a thread of an applet can be stopped.
Dead State
An applet is said to be dead when it is removed from memory. This occurs
automatically by invoking the destroy() method. Like initialization, destroying stage occurs
only once in the applet’s life cycle. If the applet has created any resources, like threads, the
destroy() method may be overridden to clean up these resources.
Display State
Applet moves to the display state whenever it has to perform some output
operations on the screen. This happens immediately after the applet enters into the running
state. The paint() method is called to accomplish this task.Almost every applet will have a
paint() method. Like other methods in the life cycle, the default version of paint() method
does absolutely nothing. The programmer must override the method to display anything on
the screen.
The paint() method is not considered as the part of the applet’s life cycle. The paint() method
is defined in the Applet class. It is inherited from the Component class, a super class of
Applet.
Example program
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class HelloJavaProgram extends Applet{
String str;
Public void init()
{
str=getParameter (“String”);
if(str==null)
str=”Java”;
str=”Hello” + str;
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString (str,10,100);
}
}
Compile this program and the .class file will be generated.
HTML file for HelloJavaProgram applet
<html>
<head>
<title> Welcome to Java Applet </title>
</head>
<body>
<applet code=” HelloJavaProgram.class” width= 400 height=200>
<param name=”String” value=”Applet!”>
</applet>
</body>
</html>
Save this file as HelloJavaParam.html and then run applet using the applet
viewer as follows:
appletviewer HelloJavaProgram.html

(b) Describe the use of data binding and data control in DHTML (16)
Data Binding in Dynamic HTML
Accessing data on the Internet using current technology is slow. Pages are slow to render
because they are being built by server processes. The processes building these pages are
slowing down the server because the server is generating HTML rather than transmitting
files. Since, on the client, the data in a page is indistinguishable from the page that contains
it, additional requests are made to the server to manipulate the data.
Data binding is a new feature of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0 (IE 4.0) that enables
authors to create Web pages that are faster to render, more interactive, easier to author, and
that require fewer server resources. It does this by using the Dynamic HTML support built
into IE 4.0.
Dynamic HTML allows all the elements on a Web page to be manipulated through scripting
languages. Data binding uses Dynamic HTML in conjunction with a simple declarative
syntax to display data using standard HTML elements without resorting to complex scripting.
Instead of the traditional method of merging the data with the HTML through server-side
templates or CGI scripts before it’s sent to the browser, data binding performs this operation
on the client after a page is received.

DataControl
Tabular Data Control is a Microsoft ActiveX control that comes pre-installed with all
versions of IE4+. This useful control allows to access, display, and even sort ASCII
information stored on the server end, such as a .txt file. In other words, it creates a simple
database function without the need for server side scripting such as PHP and mySQL. A
client side language such as JavaScript handles the more sophisticated features of Tabular
Data Control.
Implementation:
The ActiveX control is initialized using the <OBJECT> tag. The CLASSID (unique
identifier) for the tabular data control is
CLSID:333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83
Initialization of the Control
<OBJECT ID="SomeID" CLASSID="CLSID: 333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83">
...
...
...
</OBJECT>
Any object, like applet, has a number of parameters. Parameters of the object are specified
using the <PARAM> tag. The tabular data control has around 8 parameters.
• DataURL: The path of the file that contains the data. For eg "data.txt".
• UseHeader: Specifies whether the first line of the data file should be
used as reference names for their respective fields below. If specified to
false, use "Column1", "Column2" etc instead. The default value is false.
• TextQualifier: Specifies the optional character that surrounds a field.
• FieldDelim: Specifies the character that is used to separate each field in
the data file. The default character is the comma (,). For eg, consider a
data file where we have the fields data: *SomeName*|*SomeAge*|
*SomeSex*. Here, the field delimiter used is '|' and '*' is the text qualifier.
• RowDelim: Specifies the character used to mark the end of each row of
data. The default character is the newline (NL) character.
Thus, an example complete initialization will look as follows :
<OBJECT ID="SomeID" CLASSID="CLSID:333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83">
<PARAM NAME="DataURL" VALUE="YourDataFile.txt">
<PARAM NAME="UseHeader" VALUE="TRUE">
<PARAM NAME="TextQualifier" VALUE="~">
<PARAM NAME="FieldDelim" VALUE="|">
</OBJECT>
The parameter names are not case sensitive. The Text Qualifier parameter is

15. (a).Explain Java servlet life cycle and interfaces in detail (16)
Servlet life-cycle
A client of a servlet-based application does not usually communicate directly with a servlet,
but requests the servlet’s services through a Web server or application server that invokes the
servlet through the Java Servlet API. The server’s role is to manage the loading and
initialization of the servlet, the servicing of the request, and the unloading or destroying of
the servlet. This is generally provided by a servlet manager function of the application server.
The only hard and fast rule is that a servlet engine must conform to the following life cycle
contract:
1. Create and initialize the servlet.
2. Handle zero or more service calls from clients.
3. Destroy the servlet and then garbage collects it.
The life cycle of a servlet is expressed in the Java Servlet API in the init, service (doGet or
doPost), and destroy methods of the Servlet interface.
Servlet Initialization: init method
Servlets can be dynamically loaded and instantiated when their services are first requested, or
the Web server can be configured so that specific servlets are loaded and instantiated when
the Web server initializes. In either case, the init method of the servlet performs any
necessary servlet initialization, and is guaranteed to be called once for each servlet instance,
before any requests to the servlet are handled. An example of a task which may be performed
in the init method is the loading of default data parameters or database connections.
The most common form of the init method of the servlet accepts a ServletConfig object
parameter. This interface object allows the servlet to access name/value pairs of initialization
parameters that are specific to that servlet. The ServletConfig object also gives us access to
the SevletContext object that describes information about our servlet environment.
Servlet request handling
Once the servlet has been properly initialized, it may handle requests (although it is possible
that a loaded servlet may get no requests). Each request is represented by a ServletRequest
object and the corresponding response by a ServletResponse object in the Java Servlet API.
The HttpServletRequest object encapsulates information about the client request, including
information about the client’s environment and any data that may have been sent from the
client to the servlet. The HttpServletRequest class contains methods for extracting this
information from the request object.
The HttpServletResponse is often the dynamically generated response, for instance, an
HTML page which is sent back to the client. It is often built with data from the
HttpServletRequest object. In addition to an HTML page, a response object may also be an
HTTP error response, or a redirection to another URL, servlet, or JavaServer Page.
Each time a client request is made, a new servlet thread is spawned which services the
request. In this way, the server can handle multiple concurrent requests to the same servlet.
For each request, usually the service, doGet, or doPost methods will be called. These
methods are passed the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse parameter objects.
doPost: Invoked whenever an HTTP POST request is issued through an HTML form. The
parameters associated with the POST request are communicated from the browser to the
server as a separate HTTP request. The doPost method should be used whenever
modifications on the server will take place.
doGet: Invoked whenever an HTTP GET method from a URL request is issued, or an HTML
form. An HTTP GET method is the default when a URL is specified in a Web browser. In
contrast to the doPost method, doGet should be used when no modifications will be made on
the server, or when the parameters are not sensitive data. The parameters associated with a
GET request are appended to the end of the URL, and are passed into the Query String
property of the HttpServletRequest.
Destroy
The destroy method is called when the Web server unloads the servlet. A subclass of
HttpServlet only needs to implement this method if it needs to perform cleanup operations,
such as releasing database connections or closing files.
Interfaces used in Servlet Life Cycle are
1. Servlet
The Servlet interface class is the central abstraction of the Java Servlet API.
This class defines the methods which servlets must implement, including a service () method
for the handling of requests. The GenericServlet class implements this interface, and defines
a generic, protocol-independent servlet.
2. HttpServlet
HttpServlet provides additional methods for the processing of HTTP requests such as GET
(doGet method) and POST (doPost method).
3. ServletConfig
The most common form of the init method of the servlet accepts a ServletConfig
object parameter. This interface object allows the servlet to access name/value pairs of
initialization parameters that are specific to that servlet. The ServletConfig object also gives
us access to the SevletContext object that describes information about our servlet
environment. A method of the ServletConfig object allows to extract the parameter
information from this object.
4.ServletContext
The ServletContext object defines a servlet’s view of the Web application

within which the servlet is running, and gives the servlet the ability to access resources that
are explicitly available to it. Using such an object, a servlet can log events, obtain URL
references to resources, and get and set attributes at the application level that are available to
other servlets in the same context, in much the same way as the set attributes at the request
and session level.
5.ServletResponse
Each request is represented by a ServletRequest object and the corresponding response by a
ServletResponse object in the Java Servlet API.The ServletRequest interface to indicate
whether or not the request was transmitted via a secure transport such as HTTPS.
6. ServletResponse
The output from the JSP is written directly to the ServletResponse Print Writer
object.

using HTTP. (16)
Retrieving data from Internet
Internet Search Engines are used to locate resources in specific application
content area and thus download text and graphics from the Internet. Also download audio
and video resources from the Internet.
Search Engines are used to find materials and research related information. Search Engines
are accessed by pointing the www browser to the address of the search engine. The search
engine will provide a blank text field into which, we type one or more keywords indicating
what we want.
Retrieving Pictures, Sounds and Movies
Alta Vista not only download text but it can download images, video, audio based
on searching given by the user. The quickest way to download text from the Internet is to
copy the text on to the window clipboard, from which user can paste the text into any other
window on the screen.
The quickest way to download a graphic from the Internet is to use, web
browser’s option for saving the image to a file.
Downloading Audio and Video from the Internet
If the web browser supports the option to download links, download any audio or
video file that has been linked to a webpage.
HTTP Protocol:
The Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol with
lightness and speed necessary for distributed, collaborative, Hyper-media information
systems. HTTP has been in used by the World Wide Web global information.
HTTP is also used as a generic protocol for communication between user agents
and proxies/Gateways to other Internet protocols, such as SMTP, NNTP, FTP, Gopher and
WAIS, allowing basic hypermedia access to resources available from diverse application and
simplifying the implementation of user Agents.
Overall Operation
The HTTP protocol is based on a request/response paradigm. A client establish a connection
with a server and sends a request to the server in the form a request method, URI and
protocol version, followed by a MIME-like message containing request modifiers, client
information and possible body content. The server response with a status line, including the
messages protocol version and a success or error code, followed by a MIME like message
containing server information, Entity meta information and possible body content.
Most HTTP communication is initiated by the user agent and consists of a request
to be applied to a resource on some origin server. In the simplest case, this may be
accomplished via a single connection (v) between the user agent (UA) and the origin
Server (O).
HTTP Request Response Chain
A more complicated situation occurs when one or more intermediaries are present in
the request/response chain. The are three common forms of intermediary: proxy, gateway,
and tunnel.
A proxy is a forwarding agent; receiving requests for a URI in its absolute form,
rewriting all are parts of the message, and forwarding the reformatted request toward the
server identified by the URI.
A gateway is a receiving agent, acting as layer above some other servers and, if
necessary, translating the requests to the underlying server’s protocol.
A tunnel acts as a relay point between two connections without changing the
messages; Tunnels are used when the communication needs to pass through an intermediary
(such as firewall) even when the intermediary cannot understand the contents of the
messages.
Uniform Resource Identifiers
URIs have been known by many names: WWW addresses, Universal Document
Identifiers, Universal Resource Identifiers and finally the combination of Uniform Resource
Locators(URL) and Names(URN).As far as HTTP is concerned, Uniform Resource
Identifiers are simply formatted strings which identify—via name, location, or any other
characteristic –a network resource.
HTTP URL
The ‘http’ scheme is used to locate network resources via the HTTP protocol. This
sections defines the scheme-specific syntax and semantics for HTTP URLs.
http_URL=”http:” “//” host [“:” port ] [abs_path ]
host=<A legal Internet host domain name
or IP address (in dotted-decimal form),>
port=*DIGIT
If the port is empty or not given, port 80 is assumed.
Request-URI
The Request URI is a Uniform Resource Identifier and identifies the resource upon
which to apply the request.
Request-URI=absolute URI|abs_path
The two options for Request-URI are dependent on the nature of the request.
The absolute URI form is only allowed when the request is being made to a
proxy. The proxy is requested to forward the request and return the response. If
the request is GET or HEAD and a prior response is catched, the proxy may use
the catched message if it process any restrictions in the Expires header fields.
The proxy may forward the request on to another proxy or directly to the server
specified by the absolute URI. In order to avoid request loops, a proxy must be
able to recognize all of its server names, including any aliases, local variations
and the numeric IP address. An example request line would be:
GET http://www.w3.org/pub/www/theproject.html HTTP/1.10
Request Header Fields
The request header fields allow the client to pass additional information
about a request, and about the client itself, to the server. These fields act as
request modifiers, with semantics equivalent to the parameters on a
programming language method (Procedure) invocation.
Response
After receiving and interpreting a request message, a server response in
the form of an HTTP response message.
