# 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. 1$ http -v get https://riddles.makingwithcode.org/all ## -v means verbose - ## "It shows headers, body, and metadata for both the request and the response." - Google Search 2GET /all HTTP/1.1 ## GET means retrieve the following URL in read-only mode. 3Accept: */* ## */* means wildcard for "all files". 4Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate ## IDK 5Connection: keep-alive ## IDK 6Host: riddles.makingwithcode.org ## Host is the server name here. 7User-Agent: HTTPie/3.2.1 ## tells you what version of the HTTPie Command-Line ## HTTP Client is running on Ubuntu OS. ## 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. ## https://riddles.makingwithcode.org - No such file or directory ## http get https://riddles.makingwithcode.org ## HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Connection: keep-alive Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 20:49:54 GMT Referrer-Policy: same-origin Server: nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu) Transfer-Encoding: chunked X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY
