Here is an example of an
HTTP response from a server to a client request:
|

Date: Wednesday, 02-Feb-95 23:04:12
GMT
Server: NCSA/1.3
MIME-version: 1.0
Last-modified: Monday, 15-Nov-93

Content-type: text/html
Content-length: 2345
* a blank line *
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>
. . .

- The server agrees to use HTTP version 1.0 for
communication and sends the status 200 indicating it has successfully
processed the client's request.
- It then sends the date and identifies itself as an NCSA
HTTP server.
- It also indicates it is using MIME version 1.0 to
describe the information it is sending, and includes the MIME-type of the
information about to be sent in the "Content-type:" header.
- Finally, it sends the number of characters it is going
to send, followed by a blank line and the data itself.
- Client and server headers are RFC 822 compliant mail
headers. A Client may send any number of Accept: headers and the server is
expected to convert the data into a form the client can accept.
