No knowledge and no skills
Once again, I felt ignorant and incompetent. When someone asked me about HTTP knowledge, I didn’t have any answers. It was so embarrassing. I usually read a lot of technical articles, but why can’t I answer the question at the critical moment?
I did find a problem. Just looking at it is useless, it requires practice. I feel like I understand what others say clearly, but I find that if I ask myself to repeat it again, I may not be able to answer it at all. This is because reading other people's articles is more like reading a novel. You can follow the author's ideas in your mind and feel that you understand them well, but in fact they are just passing by. So I want to learn technology well
- On the one hand, you need to read other people’s summaries, such as articles, books, and source codes
- Then you have to summarize it yourself, such as writing a blog or running through the code in the book, so as to deepen your understanding.
- The last thing is to use it, especially at work. If you have used a skill very skillfully, it will be difficult to forget it.
In order to give yourself a better impression of HTTP knowledge, write a blog. Start from the shallower to the deeper and take your time.
First, let’s get to know http briefly
HTTP is Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which is an application layer protocol. My understanding is that the server generates a piece of text and transmits it over the network, and the client can parse it into a view and provide interaction.
http is composed of requests and responses. It is a stateless protocol when designed, so that every operation is basically that the client initiates a request and the server returns a response.
Http requests and responses both include: request line, message header and message body.
Common Headers
Speaking of the header, it is not complicated, but if you take a closer look, there is a lot of knowledge in it, but it is indeed a bit much. The main thing is to focus on some common ones first.
Common header field
- Cache-Control: Specify the caching mechanism followed by requests and responses
- Connection:keep-alive:Keep the TCP connection with the server
- Date: The date and time the message was sent
- Pragma: used to contain implementation-specific instructions, the most commonly used is Pragma:no-cache. In the HTTP/1.1 protocol, its meaning is the same as Cache-Control:no-cache.
- Transfer-Encoding:chunked: chunked encoding
Request Header
- Request URL: Requested URL
- Request Method: Request method (OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, CONNECT, PATCH)
- Remote Address: The address of the remote server
- Accept: Specify the MIME type received by the client (text/html, application/xhtml+xml, application/xml)
- Accept-Encoding: Specifies the encoding received by the client, usually used to specify the compression algorithm (gzip, deflate, sdch)
- Accept-Language: Specify the language received by the client (zh-CN,zh)
- Accept-Charset: Specify the character set received by the client (gb2312, uft-8)
- Cookie: client cookie information
- Host: Requested domain
- User-Agent: User information that initiated the request, operating system, browser version, etc.
- If-Modified-Since: The time when the server was last modified
response header
- Content-Encoding: Response packet encoding and compression algorithm (gzip)
- Content-Type: Resource type of response package (text/html; charset=utf-8)
- Expires: Expiration time
- Last-Modified: Last modified time
Common status codes
- 200: Request successful
- 201: The request has been fulfilled, and a new resource has been created based on the request, and its URI has been returned with the Location header information
- 301/302: Redirect
- 304: The resource requested by the client has not been modified
- 400: Bad request package
- 404: Request failed, the specified resource was not found
- 500: Internal server error, usually the server has an error and cannot return a response packet

The official account web page update cache, this thing is simple and simple, and it is complicated enough to drink a pot of it. You worked hard to update the official account article, but the user still opened the old version. Who can bear the taste? In this article, let’s take a look at the twists and turns behind this and how to solve this problem gracefully. After reading it, you can easily deal with various caching problems, allowing your users to always experience the freshest content. Let’s talk about the basics first. To put it bluntly, in order to improve access speed, the browser or server stores some static resources (such as pictures, CSS, JS) or page content. Next time you access it, you can directly retrieve it from the cache without having to download it again, and it is naturally fast. But this thing is also a double-edged sword. The new version is online,
