Title: HTTP Pocket Reference by Clinton Wong ISBN: 1565928628 Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates Pub. Date: June, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $9.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5
Rating: 5
Summary: Invaluable vade mecum
Comment: This is a nearly perfect book both for learning HTTP and for an HTTP reference. HTTP is a small, simple protocol, and this is reflected in this book's small size. Great sequence diagrams illustrate the basic HTTP transaction which is detailed in less than ten small pages. And you will probably soon find yourself with several post-it bookmarks or dog-eared pages.
The book could use an explanation of HTTP proxies and gateways and a list of common user-agents. But any more and it would be too long.

Summary: I didn't realise I needed it!
Comment: If you develop your own web applications then this book is invaluable! You don't realise that you need it until you know what's in it. An overview of HTTP headers, client methods and server response codes along with URL character and media type tables makes for a great pocket reference!
The O'Reilly pocket references are so concise that they are not really meant for someone who is totally new to the subject. They can however be the ideal way to provide an overview to anyone who wants to know the basics of the topic.
Rating: 4
Summary: Very good book
Comment: The praise of other reviewers is well met. Overall, this is a very good book and every CGI programmer and anyone else doing Internet programming should buy it.
My only complaint is that it doesn't group information based on servers and is missing some server-specific items that are important, although they are not part of the Spec.
