The http protocol

Hey people i was doing some research and came across 2 .txt files from 1997 on the http protocol
and i never knew there was that much in depth info on the http protocol here is a link to the ftp site where i found them there are a lot of good material on it some of which is really old from 1987 but it could take some of you old techies a walk down memory lane :D j/k some of the info there i see still applies to the internet today so its a good source of info IMO well here is the link to the ftp site

http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/security/technotronic/rfc/

and here are a link to the two paper's i started this thread about
http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/security/tech...fc/rfc1945.txt

that link applies to HTTP/1.0

and this one is for HTTP/1.1

http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/security/tech...fc/rfc2068.txt

enjoy :)

What you are looking at are the RFC (Request for comments) on the HTTP. They contain all the information that you need to develop a system that uses the HTTP protocol. This is the document that any one wishing to HTTP follows

You will find a RFC for virtly all protocals and standards (that are in the public domain) FTP, SSL, TCP, UDP, IP etc.
