HTTP and REST

HTTP allows for communication between a variety of hosts and clients, and supports a mixture of network configurations.

Communication between a host and a client occurs, via a request/response pair. The client initiates an HTTP request message, which is serviced through a HTTP response message in return.

URLs - At the heart of web communications is the request message, which are sent via Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)

The primary or most-commonly-used HTTP methods are POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.

Lecture Review

The lecture today had a lot of information, but I was able to follow it and understand it. I think the lab should be relatively easy this week, but I really want to research this some more, because I know the next few labs will build on this and there will be a lot more information to absorb in those as well.
