超文本傳輸協議（Hypertext Transfer Protocol，HTTP）是在萬維網上進行通信時所使用的協議方案。HTTP有很多應用，但最著名的是用於web瀏覽器和web服務器之間的雙工通信。
HTTP起初是一個簡單的協議，因此你可能會認為關於這個協議沒有太多好說的。但現在，你手上拿著的是卻一本兩磅重 的書。如果你對我們怎麼會寫齣一本650頁 的關於HTTP的書感到奇怪的話，可以去看一下目錄。本書不僅僅是一本HTTP首部的參考手冊；它是一本名副其實的web結構聖經。
本書中，我們嘗試著將HTTP中一些互相關聯且常被誤解的規則梳理清楚，並編寫瞭一係列基於各種主題的章節，對HTTP各方麵的特性進行瞭介紹。縱觀全書，我們對HTTP“為什麼”這樣做進行瞭詳細的解釋，而不僅僅停留在它是“怎麼做”的。而且，為瞭節省大傢尋找參考文獻的時間，我們還對很多HTTP應用程序正常工作所必須的、重要的非HTTP技術進行瞭介紹。在組織得便於使用的附錄中，可以找到按照字母排序的首部參考（這些首部構成瞭最常見的HTTP文本的基礎）。我們希望這種概念性的設計有助於讀者對HTTP的使用。
本書是為所有希望理解HTTP以及Web底層結構的人編寫的。軟硬件工程師也可以將本書作為HTTP及相關web技術的條理清楚的參考書使用。係統架構師和網絡管理員可以通過本書更好地瞭解如何設計、實現並管理復雜的網絡架構。性能工程師和分析人員可以從高速緩存和性能優化的相關章節中獲益。市場營銷和谘詢專傢可以通過概念的介紹更好地理解web技術的前景。
本書對一些常見的誤解進行瞭說明，推薦瞭“各種使用訣竅”，提供瞭便捷的參考資料，並且對枯燥且令人費解的標準規範進行瞭可讀性很強的介紹。在這本書裏，我們對Web正常工作所必須且互相關聯的技術進行瞭詳細的介紹。
本書是很多對因特網技術充滿熱情的人經過大量工作寫成的。希望對你有所幫助。

評分☆☆☆☆☆ 評分☆☆☆☆☆##http主要需要瞭解url格式，請求響應格式，常用響應碼和首部， 考慮服務器和中間節點對http 1.1 keepalive的支持，瞭解cookie的利弊和超時 什麼時候get 後麵用完整路徑什麼時候用相對路徑，和host字段的作用 不說1.0和1.1的差彆， 而且本身很多東西的支持情況都依賴瀏覽器的。 ...
