Codenomicon HTTP Server Test Tool Data Sheet

  • Test tool: Codenomicon HTTP Server Test Tool
  • Direction: Server/Proxy (server)

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext. These tasks include name servers and distributed object management systems, through extensions of HTTP request methods, error codes and headers. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred.[RFC2616]
