Summary

A Japanese-language book by Yoshiki Shibukawa that aims to bring together the technical substance of HTTP in one volume. Tracing the path of HTTP's evolution, it introduces what a browser does internally and what happens in its exchanges with a server, drawing on protocol examples and real-world use. Using code examples in Go and JavaScript, it covers a wide range of web-technology topics: simple HTTP access, submitting forms, controlling caches and cookies, SSL/TLS, how Server-Sent Events behave, authentication, metadata, CDNs, and security. This third edition adds an introduction aimed more at beginners and a new chapter on the platforming of the web through things like super apps.

Target Readers

• Readers coming to HTTP for the first time through this edition's introduction, written with beginners more in mind, or following its new chapter on the web turning into a platform through things like super apps
