Request and response notes

Checkpoint 1

Read the request and response shown on lines 1-32 of the lab. Choose five lines from the request and/or the response. For each, make an inference about the meaning of the line, and some situation in which it might be useful. You are welcome to research the meanings of these headers, but it's also fine to speculate for now.

Line 1: THat is just pointing to the URL of the server

Line 2: A GET request is establishing contact from your computer to the server via teh HTTP protocol.

Line 6: This is telling us the host name of the server, im not sure how it differs from the first line

Line 13: This is useful to know how much data is in the request, but is that content or something else?

Lne 23: Thats the beginning of the content in a dictionary or tuple I think.

Checkpoint 2

The goal of this checkpoint is to see what status codes you can get back from the riddle server. Paste below several http requests and the status codes they return.

200 returns when youre connected to the server

400 returns when you miss something in the post
