One internet enabeled service I use regularly is Google as a search engine. I would think that Google uses a very complex version of the HTTP request and response systems that we worked on in this lab. The request is my search query from my machine, and the response is the search results coming from Google servers.This lab has given me a deeper understanding of how the internet and HTTP work. Before this lab, these services that I use just worked, and I never thought about how. Now, when I load a webpage or use an internet service, I have more background as to what is going on.

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: command to get data from the url given Line 2: sent request to server Line 3: I will accept any data type Line 4: Accepts gzip files which are compresseed files Line 5: Continued connection to server
