Appendix C. A quick introduction to HTTP

In this appendix, we discuss the essential aspects of HTTP any developer needs to know. Fortunately, you don’t have to be an expert in HTTP and know its reference by heart to implement excellent web apps. On your journey as a software developer, you’ll also learn other HTTP aspects, but I want to make sure you have all the needed information to understand the examples we work on in this book, starting with chapter 7.

Why learn about HTTP in a book about Spring? Because today most of the apps we implement with an application framework (such as Spring) are web apps—and web apps use HTTP.

We’ll begin with what HTTP is, and we’ll analyze its definition in a visual. We’ll then discuss the details you need ...
