Description
HTTP is the underlying protocol of the World Wide Web. Until now, it has been buried in browsers and used primarily for simple access. All that is changing with convergence applications and services. Key protocols for wireless Internet access, persistent connections, voice over IP, and e-commerce transactions not only assume HTTP but require the developer to manipulate the protocol.
