What Is an HTTP Response
This section describes what is an HTTP response - The message returned from a Web server to the client machine in response to an HTTP request from that client machine.
What Is an HTTP Response? A HTTP response is the message a Web server needs to return back to a Web client machine in response to an HTTP request from the same client machine. Based on the HTTP/1.1 protocol, after receiving and interpreting an HTTP request from a client machine, a Web server must responds with an HTTP response message with the following structure:
status-line header-line ... header-line entity-body
Note that:
Below is a sample HTTP response with two header lines:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 38 <html><body>Hello world!</body></html>
