Peek under the hood of the HyperText Transfer Protocol.
-------------------------------------------------------

The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) powers the World Wide Web. Every web
page requested and displayed in a web browser is delivered via HTTP. But HTTP
can facilitate all sorts of client/server communication. In this talk, Brian
Turnbull will discuss and present the major aspects of the protocol for
application to your own projects.

Next month, Brian will present the second part of the presentation, "RESTful
Web Services". REpresentational State Transfer is the theoretical
underpinnings of HTTP/1.1. This talk will explain what REST is, present
examples of existing web services using REST, and also covers the practical
application of REST and the Atom Publishing Protocol in creating a web
service.

For directions to this talk and/or more information about the Seacoast chapter
of the GNHLUG visit our website at http://slug.gnhlug.org.
