Synopsis

The emergence of the Web has done more to change Internetworking than any of the hundreds of applications that once defined the Internet. This volume includes all of the RFCs on the protocols determining how Web pages work, how Web servers interact with Web browsers, and how Web resources are identified and located by browsers and servers. This means complete documentation of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), as well as the specifications for the Universal Resource Identifier (URI), Universal Resource Locator (URL), and Universal Resource Name (URN) mechanisms. This is essential, low-level information for anyone building and maintaining Web sites or designing and developing Web applications.
