| 472 | <p>The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information |
|---|
| 473 | systems. HTTP has been in use by the World Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. This document is Part 2 of the |

| 474 | seven-part specification that defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1" and, taken together, obsoletes RFC 2616. Part |
|---|
| 475 | 2 defines the semantics of HTTP messages as expressed by request methods, request-header fields, response status codes, and |
|---|
| 476 | response-header fields. |

|---|
| 615 | body content over a connection with a server. The server responds with a status line, including the message's protocol version |
|---|
| 616 | and a success or error code, followed by a MIME-like message containing server information, entity metainformation, and possible |
