Description

Behind every web transaction lies the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) --- the language of web browsers and servers, of portals and search engines, of e-commerce and web services. Understanding HTTP is essential for practically all web-based programming, design, analysis, and administration.

While the basics of HTTP are elegantly simple, the protocol's advanced features are notoriously confusing, because they knit together complex technologies and terminology from many disciplines. This book clearly explains HTTP and these interrelated core technologies, in twenty-one logically organized chapters, backed up by hundreds of detailed illustrations and examples, and convenient reference appendices. HTTP: The Definitive Guide explains everything people need to use HTTP efficiently -- including the "black arts" and "tricks of the trade" -- in a concise and readable manner.

In addition to explaining the basic HTTP features, syntax and guidelines, this book clarifies related, but often misunderstood topics, such as: TCP connection management, web proxy and cache architectures, web robots and robots.txt files, Basic and Digest authentication, secure HTTP transactions, entity body processing, internationalized content, and traffic redirection.

Many technical professionals will benefit from this book. Internet architects and developers who need to design and develop software, IT professionals who need to understand Internet architectural components and interactions, multimedia designers who need to publish and host multimedia, performance engineers who need to optimize web performance, technical marketing professionals who need a clear picture of core web architectures and protocols, as well as untold numbers of students and hobbyists will all benefit from the knowledge packed in this volume.

There are many books that explain how to use the Web, but this is the one that explains how the Web works. Written by experts with years of design and implementation experience, this book is the definitive technical bible that describes the "why" and the "how" of HTTP and web core technologies. HTTP: The Definitive Guide is an essential reference that no technically-inclined member of the Internet community should be without.

描述

每個網頁交易背後都有超文本傳輸協議(HTTP)- 網頁瀏覽器和伺服器的語言,入口網站和搜索引擎的語言,電子商務和網絡服務的語言。了解HTTP對於幾乎所有基於網絡的編程、設計、分析和管理都是必不可少的。

儘管HTTP的基本原理非常簡單,但協議的高級功能因將來自多個學科的複雜技術和術語緊密結合在一起而聞名於世。本書通過21個邏輯有序的章節,以數百個詳細的插圖和示例以及方便的參考附錄,清晰地解釋了HTTP和這些相關的核心技術。《HTTP:權威指南》以簡潔易讀的方式解釋了人們在使用HTTP時所需的一切,包括“黑魔法”和“行業技巧”。

除了解釋基本的HTTP功能、語法和指南外,本書還澄清了相關但常常被誤解的主題,例如:TCP連接管理、網絡代理和緩存架構、網絡機器人和robots.txt文件、基本和摘要身份驗證、安全的HTTP事務、實體主體處理、國際化內容和流量重定向。

許多技術專業人員將從本書中受益。需要設計和開發軟件的互聯網架構師和開發人員、需要了解互聯網架構組件和交互作用的IT專業人員、需要發布和托管多媒體的多媒體設計師、需要優化網絡性能的性能工程師、需要對核心網絡架構和協議有清晰了解的技術營銷專業人員,以及無數的學生和愛好者都將從本書中獲得知識。

有很多書籍可以解釋如何使用網絡,但這本書解釋了網絡的運作原理。本書由具有多年設計和實施經驗的專家撰寫,是描述HTTP和網絡核心技術的權威技術聖經。《HTTP:權威指南》是一本不可或缺的參考書,任何對互聯網社區有技術傾向的成員都不應該錯過。
