Common Expressions: HTTP

Expressions Definition
Embedded http server An Embedded HTTP Server is a component of a software system that implements the http protocol. (references)
HTTP pipelining HTTP pipelining appeared in HTTP/1.1. It allows clients to send multiple requests at once, without waiting for an answer. Servers can also send multiple answers without closing their socket. This results in fewer roundtrips and faster load times. This is particularly useful for satellite Internet connections and other connections with high latency as separate requests need not be made for each file. (references)
Http scheme Http is the most popular URI scheme used on the World Wide Web. It was named after the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, as it was originally designed for use with. (references)

Specialty Expressions: HTTP

Expressions Domain Definition
HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) Standards The protocol most commonly used in the World-Wide Web to transfer information from Web servers to Web browsers. (references)
HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) Aerospace Is the primary protocol used on the WWW. HTTP performs the request and retrieve functions necessary to display documents stored on remote computers. (references)
HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) Business In the World Wide Web, a protocol that facilitates the transfer of hypertext-based files between local and remote systems. (references)
HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) Environment The method by which documents are transferred from a server to your computer. (references)
HTTP cookie Computing HTTP cookie A packet of information sent by an HTTP server to a World-Wide Web browser and then sent back by the browser each time it accesses that server. Cookies can contain any arbitrary information the server chooses and are used to maintain state between otherwise stateless HTTP transactions. Typically this is used to authenticate or identify a registered user of a web site without requiring them to sign in again every time they access that site. Other uses are, e.g.maintaining a "shopping basket" of goods you have selected to purchase during a session at a site, site personalization (presenting different pages to different users), tracking a particular user's access to a site. (http://www.illuminatus.com/cookie). (1997-01-15). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing..
HTTP function Technology See function. (references)
HTTP server Computing HTTP server (Or "web server") A server process running at a web site which sends out web pages in response to HTTP requests from remote browsers. If one site runs more than one server they must use different port numbers. Alternatively, several hostnames may be mapped to the same computer in which case they are known as "virtual servers". Apache and NCSA HTTPd are two popular web servers. There are many others including some for practically every platform. Servers differ mostly in the "server-side" features they offer such as server-side include, and in their authentication and access control mechanisms. All decent servers support CGI and most have some binary API as well. (1997-02-05). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing..
