The HyperText Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is the backbone
of the World Wide Web. HTTP is the language that each Web
browser (or other Web client) uses to communicate with servers
around the world. All Web programmers, administrators, and
application developers need to be familiar with HTTP in
order to work effectively.

The HTTP Pocket Reference not only provides a solid conceptual
foundation of HTTP, it also serves as a quick reference to
each of the headers and status codes that compose an HTTP
transaction. The book starts with a tutorial of HTTP, but
then explains the client request and server responses in
more detail, and gives a thorough technical explanation of
more advanced features of HTTP (such as persistent connections
and caching).

Most people use the Web every day without knowing anything
about HTTP, but if you need to get "beyond the browser",
this book is the place to start.
