Web Science/Part1: Foundations of the web/Hypertext Transfer Protocol/Making HTTP requests/quiz

1 What is the syntax of an HTTP GET request using version 1.0 of HTTP?

	GET HTTP/1.0 /path/filename\r\n\r\n
	GET /path/filename HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n
	HTTP/1.0 GET /path/filename\r\n\r\n

2 How is the end of the HTTP request marked?

	by closing the TCP connection
	By an empty line
	FINISH
	none of the above

3 Which of the following are types of HTTP requests

	GET
	HELP
	HEAD
	READ
	POST
	CREATE
	PUT
	DELETE
	ASK
	TRACE
	OPTIONS
	TRANSFER
	CONNECT
	PATCH
	UPDATE

4 How is the end of a HTTP/1.0 response marked?

	by closing the TCP connection
	By an empty line
	FINISH
	none of the above

5 What is meant when we say HTTP is a stateless protocol?

	all requests have to be idempotent
	it cannot be built on top of a connection oriented protocol which creates a session (like tcp)
	no user session is created on the web server
	Same HTTP requests will always be handled in the same way independent of the last time's outcome and of the last request.

6 Compare peer to peer protocols with client server protocols

P2P	Client / Server
		every host can make a request and every host can make a response.
		some hosts can make requests and some hosts (potentially the same) can make responses.
		everyone is allowed to start a conversation and send data
		load on the system can become an essential problem
		the more hosts using the protocol the more reliable it becomes.
		there is no authority
