About this product: Web technology has become the foundation for all sorts of critical networked applications and far-reaching methods of data exchange, and beneath it all is a fundamental protocol: HyperText Transfer Protocol, or HTTP. HTTP: The Definitive Guide documents everything that technical people need for using HTTP efficiently-including the "black arts" and "tricks of the trade"-and does so in a clear and readable manner. Written by experts with years of practical and teaching experience, this book is the definitive technical bible on HTTP and related core web technologies because it clearly explains the "why" as well as the "how". A reader can understand how web applications work, how the core Internet protocols and architectural building blocks interact, and how to correctly implement Internet clients and servers. It's an essential toolkit that no technically-inclined member of the Internet community should be without.
HTTP is the protocol that powers the Web. As Web applications become more sophisticated, and as emerging technologies continue to rely heavily on HTTP, understanding this protocol is becoming more and more essential for professional Web developers. By learning HTTP protocol, Web developers gain a deeper understanding of the Web's architecture and can create even better Web applications that are more reliable, faster, and more secure.
The HTTP Developer's Handbook is written specifically for Web developers. It begins by introducing the protocol and explaining it in a straightforward manner. It then illustrates how to leverage this information to improve applications. Extensive information and examples are given covering a wide variety of issues, such as state and session management, caching, SSL, software architecture, and application security.
About this product: The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) allows information to be exchanged between a web server and a web browser. Java allows you to program HTTP directly. HTTP programming allows you to create programs that access the web much like a human user would. These programs, which are called bots, can collect information or automate common web programming tasks. This book presents a collection of very reusable recipes for Java bot programming.
This book covers many topics related to Java HTTP programming. Both secure and insecure HTTP communications are covered, as well as HTTP authentication. Learn to interact with HTTP forms and support both HTTP POST and HTTP GET requests. Collect data from a wide array of HTML constructs, such as tables, and lists. Learn about advanced topics that complicate the life of a bot, such as AJAX and Javascript. Also learn about the ethical use of bots, and when bots should not be used.
This book also introduces the Heaton Research Spider. The Heaton Research Spider is an open source spider framework. Using the Heaton Research Spider you can create spiders that will crawl a web site, much like a real spider crawls the web. The Heaton Research Spider is available in both Java and Microsoft Dot Net form.
About this product: Carefully prepared content gets all the glory, but the job of delivering multimedia information to the people and machines who require it falls to a set of protocols. Web Protocols and Practice explains how resources locate one another on the constantly changing Internet, how they ask for other resources, and how those documents and media are delivered. This comprehensive document does more than any other book around to eliminate vague hand-waving and actually explain how the Internet works. Anyone who's heard explanations along the lines of, "The Domain Name Service resolves the machine name to an IP address" or "The browser makes a POST request" and wanted to scream "But HOW?" will love what Balachander Krishnamurthy and Jennifer Rexford have done in these pages.
The authors approach HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the other protocols covered from an engineering perspective, which is to say that they outline the problems the protocols are meant to solve before going into detail about what the protocols do. They also explain the evolution of protocols over time, and call attention to the shortcomings of protocols and their likely evolutionary paths. Nearly all of the explanatory material takes the form of bright, carefully considered text that's supplemented by message listings ("The server could reply with...") and a handful of conceptual diagrams. Later chapters transcend the protocols themselves to focus on questions of reliability, traffic measurement, and efficient caching. --David Wall
Topics covered: The protocols that underpin transactions on the Internet and other networks that employ Internet communications standards. Detailed coverage goes to the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) versions 1.0 and 1.1, the Internet Protocol addressing scheme, and the Transmission Control Protocol specification. Design of Web servers, cache servers, and proxy servers gets much attention, as do site workload and traffic metrics.

About this product: The HyperText Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is the backbone of the World Wide Web. All web programmers, administrators, and application developers need to be familiar with the ins and outs of HTTP in order to work effectively. The HTTP Pocket Reference not only provides a solid conceptual foundation of HTTP, it also serves as a quick reference to each of the headers and status codes that comprise an HTTP transaction. Most people use the Web every day without knowing anything about HTTP, but for those who need to get "beyond the browser," this book is the place to start.
About this product: A Collection of Jokes for Adults Only
** MANY OF THESE JOKES CONTAIN ADULT LANUAGE & SITUATIONS OF A SEXUAL NATURE. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IF THIS VIOLATES ANY LAWS IN YOUR AREA OR YOU ARE UNDER AGE **
This newly released eBook contains 182 hilarious jokes. The Jokes are split into four different catagories; One liners, Longer Jokes, Rude Jokes and Blonde Jokes. These jokes have been collected over a number of years especially for this book, each joke has been hand picked for this book.
Here are a few clean samples:
Where would you find a duck with no legs? Where you left it. A Dyslexic man walks into a bra...
Q: What do you do if a blonde throws a grenade at you? A: You pick it up pull the pin & throw it back.
There are longer jokes too, but Amazon has to limit the space we use here.
These are great jokes to use on your friends down the pub, or impress, or annoy, your parents with over dinner!
HTTP is the primary backbone of the Web. XML is rapidly becoming the de facto data format. These two technologies can be used together to build web-enabled data exchange applications. In this article, Darshan Singh explores the HTTP data access classes in MSXML (Microsoft XML Core Services) and in the .NET Framework. We'll begin by discussing the MSXML classes XMLHTTP and ServerXMLHTTP; and then we'll review the .NET Framework classes HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse in the System.Net namespace.
The XMLHTTP class is designed to be used on the client side to send the requests to HTTP servers, whereas ServerXMLHTTP is best suited for server-to-server HTTP data communication. There are many differences between these components. The article discusses all such issues and will help you decide when to use each of these classes.
About this product: Enrique Prochazka, b. Lima, 1960, is a Peruvian writer with a lot of talent. He shows it in 'Casa' ('House,') a novel about the need to restart, to rediscover oneself, and then to change our course of action and attain redemption. Parallels to 2001: A Space Odyssey (the book) and '2001 - A Space Odyssey [Blu-ray]' (the movie) are not a matter of chance, but a well studied reference and homage to Clarke's book and Kubrick's masterpiece, respectively. Because deep inside, Prochazka's inspiration comes from this science fiction, although I wouldn't consider 'House' itself a science fiction work.
Prochazka uses his knowledge of architecture, philosophy, cosmology, and literature at the highest level. He studied all these subjects in Lima (he graduated from the Pontific Catholic University with a B.A. in Philosophy, and took Architecture classes at Ricardo Palma University). He has written papers on Hegel, and has been 'accused' of writing only for the erudite, linguists, and people who read Wittgenstein. He does write for readers with knowledge, with intellectual curiosity. He acknowledges his readership is limited. He is interested in writing and doesn't care that much on what happens after the book is published (pers. comm.) It's hard to get his books in Lima. The books are published in small quantities and the distribution is not widespread. I've walked many a mile in Lima trying to get his book. I finally got it at Amazon!
Reading Prochazka is a treat. This book takes you to a land where you can only discover new things, where you can get more the more you know about philosophy and science fiction; about literature and life.
Too bad he doesn't care about what happens to the book after written. We could do better with his books widely distributed and translated into English, French, and German. Why not? Those who follow Wittgenstein and read Hegel would enjoy reading Prochazka, too.
P.S. Please note, the title of the book is 'Casa'. Amazon has, erroneously, listed it as 'Casa/ House: 451.http://'
