Slide #6 for Recitation #3

HTTP - HyperText Transfer Protocol

The capability to connect with other Web servers is done via HTTP.

The general format for HTTP references is the same as FTP.

    http://host/directory-path

Example:

    http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~escobarj

Note: The above URL doesn't specify a filename. The Web browser is savvy enough to choose a default file. Depending on how the Web site was setup this default filename is typically index.html or Welcome.html. On rcs system, you can use index.html.
