  2. HTTP persistent connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection

    Under HTTP 1.0, connections should always be closed by the server after sending the response. [1]Since at least late 1995, [2] developers of popular products (browsers, web servers, etc.) using HTTP/1.0, started to add an unofficial extension (to the protocol) named "keep-alive" in order to allow the reuse of a connection for multiple requests/responses.

  3. List of HTTP status codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

    This class of status code indicates the client must take additional action to complete the request. Many of these status codes are used in URL redirection. [2]A user agent may carry out the additional action with no user interaction only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD.

  4. XMLHttpRequest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLHttpRequest

    XMLHttpRequest (XHR) is an API in the form of a JavaScript object whose methods transmit HTTP requests from a web browser to a web server. [1] The methods allow a browser-based application to send requests to the server after page loading is complete, and receive information back. [2] XMLHttpRequest is a component of Ajax programming.

  5. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    Messages are always transmitted with FEC parity data (and error-detection redundancy). A receiver decodes a message using the parity information and requests retransmission using ARQ only if the parity data was not sufficient for successful decoding (identified through a failed integrity check).

  6. Requests (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requests_(software)

    Requests is an HTTP client library for the Python programming language. [2] [3] Requests is one of the most downloaded Python libraries, [2] with over 300 million monthly downloads. [4] It maps the HTTP protocol onto Python's object-oriented semantics. Requests's design has inspired and been copied by HTTP client libraries for other programming ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    In the RFB protocol used by VNC, a client starts its conversation with a server by sending "RFB" (52 46 42, for "Remote Frame Buffer") followed by the client's protocol version number. In the SMB protocol used by Microsoft Windows, each SMB request or server reply begins with 'FF 53 4D 42', or "\xFFSMB" at the start of the SMB request.

  9. Cache prefetching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_prefetching

    Cache prefetching can be accomplished either by hardware or by software. [3]Hardware based prefetching is typically accomplished by having a dedicated hardware mechanism in the processor that watches the stream of instructions or data being requested by the executing program, recognizes the next few elements that the program might need based on this stream and prefetches into the processor's ...
