3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, mistitled, May 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Illustrated Guide to Http (Paperback)

I ordered this book because I was looking for a guide to HTTP that would provide me with a fairly clear explanation of the standard. Instead, I got a book that tells you how to build a web server from the ground up. It's good information (and fortunately someone in my office wants to know that information), but it's not for people who need to apply HTTP in languages other than C or C++. The frog on the cover is great, but there aren't too many more illustrations inside.

...The introduction in the protocol is not that different from the RFC, but it is presented in a more comprehensible format. After a while, the author starts to illustrate how to implement it in C, which I don't think is very interesting, but what else might you expect from a Java-guy. If you're pretty new to HTTP, then you will definitely find this book interesting....

I wanted information and examples on the HTTP protocol. You wont get that from this book.

For instance I wanted to know what a response to a image request would look like. Not in this book!!!!!
