Let’s take a closer look under the hood at what the process of changing HTTP messages is.

The number of security breaches and cybercrimes is increasing rapidly. With more and more approaches being transferred online, hackers have found their way of hacking into a system and corrupting the information or stealing data to turn it into profits. As the technology keeps on changing, the hacking attempts are also becoming smart and upgraded to ensure hackers are never caught in action.

Elastic APM is extensively useful in monitoring the lifecycle of a HTTP request in a system especially in µservices architecture. Wide variety of web frameworks and databases are supported which is useful in tracking the request up to DB calls. The documentation is simple and concise which makes it easy to instrument the application.

In this tutorial, I'm going to walk you through building a streaming API using Golang. Don't worry, its surprisingly easy to build a robust streaming server, especially if we utilize one of the more modern protocols: HLS.

The task is to build an app that can send and receive messages over a local network. We can do it using sockets, but today we are going to create a simple app that uses an HTTP server for communication.

When I’m learning something new I like to talk to myself about it until I feel I understand it. You can feel when you’re just hiding behind the fact that no one else is questioning you, and you’re really just kind of lying to yourself. “Yeah yeah, REST, CRUD, awfully simple…”

In this article, you are going to learn what HTTP is, What Sessions are, and their usage, The Request-Response cycle and another fundamental concepts.

In this article, I'll cover HTTP terms, tools, and the structure of HTTP messages.

The 6 core concepts you need to know to understand HTTP caching.

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the language that web browsers and web servers speak to each other. Example, Request a web page or download a file or watch a video, it is HTTP that makes it possible.1 — Building Blocks Of HTTP

Clickjacking refers to any attack where is user is tricked into clicking any unexpected web element unintentionally. It is a malicious practice in which the attacker tricks a user to click on another webpage who actually clicks on another page. This technique is mostly used for websites or web pages by overlaying malicious content over a trusted webpage or by placing a transparent element or an entire page over a visible one.

A guide on why Webhooks are often considered better than regular HTTP requests for a few reasons.

In this article I will talk about the main tool of a web scraping specialist - the http/https packet sniffer.

Explore the power of Wireshark and tcpdump for network analysis in our comprehensive guide, unveiling tips for effective troubleshooting.

HTTP is a protocol which allows the fetching of resources, such as HTML documents. It is the foundation of any data exchange on the Web and it is a client-server protocol, which means requests are initiated by the recipient, usually the Web browser. A complete document is reconstructed from the different sub-documents fetched, for instance text, layout description, images, videos, scripts, and more.

Compression is an important way to increase the performance of a Web site. For some documents, size reduction of up to 70% lowers the bandwidth capacity needs. Over the years, algorithms also got more efficient, and new ones are supported by clients and servers.

DNS stands for Domain Name System, and it is a huge database where domain names are stored with their corresponding IP addresses.

REST is simpler and, thus, more approachable, but it requires a lot of custom effort, which changes from project to project.

REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer

Starting with Firefox 23, Firefox blocks active mixed content by default. This follows a practice adopted by Internet Explorer (since version 9) and Chrome.

In this part of the series, I'll demonstrate generating HTTP responses from a simple Node.js Express server.

Certificate chains are used to be able to verify an end user certificate against a list of intermediaries and a root authority. We are going to explain this in a bit more detail.

Working on the web means coming into contact with HTTP responses. Whether you spend your time primarily on the client or on the server, you're likely familiar with the popular ones like 200, 404, and 500. While memorizing all the codes using cat memes as a mnemonic can be helpful, let's dive deeper into what some of the most common codes mean.

URL redirection, also known as URL forwarding, is a technique to give more than one URL address to a page, a form, or a whole Web site/application. HTTP has a special kind of response, called a HTTP redirect, for this operation.

The concept of instrumentation often refers to tracing where events happen in an application. Many application performance monitoring (APM) tools use it to provide metrics on the inner workings of your application. But sometimes, all you really need are details about API calls.

A collection of a few things I needed to clear up (to myself or others) about HTTP Status Codes while building a RESTful API.

This article's goal is to help you make these decisions to ensure the confidentiality and integrity communication between client and server.

In this part of the series, I'll demonstrate generating HTTP requests from a simple React app using XHR, Fetch, and Axios.

In this article, I'll write about the developer experience of developing the above application in Rust, compared to what I'm used to with Spring Boot.

APIs are less like USB ports or fire hoses than they are as a person at a help desk in a foreign country. An API will not give you all of a program’s information or code (like a fire hose), because what would stop you from replicating the entire code base? Instead, an API provides you with data its programmers have made available to outside users. Even so, you have to know the language and ask the right questions to do anything with this data.

Xanny finally reached version 1.0 in Dec 2020. According to its official repository, Xanny is a simple, fast and low HTTP router and URL marcher for building Deno servers.

HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol of the World Wide Web. Developed by Tim Berners-Lee and his team between 1989-1991, HTTP has seen many changes, keeping most of the simplicity and further shaping its flexibility. HTTP has evolved from an early protocol to exchange files in a semi-trusted laboratory environment, to the modern maze of the Internet, now carrying images, videos in high resolution and 3D.

I'm continuing my journey on getting more familiar with HTTP APIs by reading related Request For Comments.

A missing or misconfigured header can completely change how the client interprets the response.

If I want to monitor a service, I can monitor it by simply sending an HTTP POST request to my heartbeat.sh server, and voila, my service is being monitored! I will show you how to do this in three easy steps.

Using a browser to consume content is something most of us do everyday. Heck, you're doing it right now. Recently though, I was humbled by the realization that for something I do so often, I only had a vague idea of what was happening "under the hood". But rather than stew in my own shame and self-loathing, I decided to dive in to gain a better grasp on the complete end-to-end process, or life cycle, of a browser.
