A de facto standard for identifying the original host requested by the client in the Host HTTP request header, since the host name and/or port of the reverse proxy (load balancer) may differ from the origin server handling the request. Superseded by Forwarded header. X-Forwarded-Host: en.wikipedia.org:8080. X-Forwarded-Host: en.wikipedia.org
In computing, POST is a request method supported by HTTP used by the World Wide Web. By design, the POST request method requests that a web server accepts the data enclosed in the body of the request message, most likely for storing it. [1] It is often used when uploading a file or when submitting a completed web form.
The request/response message consists of the following: Request line, such as GET /logo.gif HTTP/1.1 or Status line, such as HTTP/1.1 200 OK, Headers; An empty line; Optional HTTP message body data; The request/status line and headers must all end with <CR><LF> (that is, a carriage return followed by a line feed).
Sending a large request body to a server after a request has been rejected for inappropriate headers would be inefficient. To have a server check the request's headers, a client must send Expect: 100-continue as a header in its initial request and receive a 100 Continue status code in response before sending the body. If the client receives an ...
Verifying that the request's headers contain X-Requested-With (used by Ruby on Rails before v2.0 and Django before v1.2.5), or checking the HTTP Referer header and/or HTTP Origin header. [ 31 ] Checking the HTTP Referer header to see if the request is coming from an authorized page is commonly used for embedded network devices because it does ...
zero or more request header fields (at least 1 or more headers in case of HTTP/1.1), each consisting of the case-insensitive field name, a colon, optional leading whitespace, the field value, an optional trailing whitespace and ending with a carriage return and a line feed, e.g.: Host: www.example.com Accept-Language: en
The HTTP Location header field is returned in responses from an HTTP server under two circumstances: To ask a web browser to load a different web page (URL redirection). In this circumstance, the Location header should be sent with an HTTP status code of 3xx. It is passed as part of the response by a web server when the requested URI has:
Custom header fields can be added to the request to indicate how the server should fulfill it, [12] and data can be uploaded to the server by providing it in the "send" call. [13] The response can be parsed from the JSON format into a readily usable JavaScript object, or processed gradually as it arrives rather than waiting for the entire text ...
