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.
