Peek under the hood of the HyperText Transfer Protocol.
-------------------------------------------------------

The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) powers the World Wide Web. Every web 
page requested and displayed in a web browser is delivered via HTTP. But HTTP 
can facilitate all sorts of client/server communication. In this talk, Brian 
Turnbull will discuss and present the major aspects of the protocol for 
application to your own projects. 
 
Next month, Brian will present the second part of the presentation, "RESTful 
Web Services". REpresentational State Transfer is the theoretical 
underpinnings of HTTP/1.1. This talk will explain what REST is, present 
examples of existing web services using REST, and also covers the practical 
application of REST and the Atom Publishing Protocol in creating a web 
service.
