This is a detailed guide to the HTTP protocol, which provides implementation examples, with coverage of complex aspects of the HTTP 1.1 standard. This pack provides extensive code examples, and a full working HTTP server on CD-ROM. It aims to show what the changes in HTTP standard involve.
...The introduction in the protocol is not that different from the RFC, but it is presented in a more comprehensible format. After a while, the author starts to illustrate how to implement it in C, which I don't think is very interesting, but what else might you expect from a Java-guy. If you're pretty new to HTTP, then you will definitely find this book interesting....
