About Communication Adapters

Sample HTTP Exchange in Client Mode

To retrieve the file at the following URL:

http://www.myhost.com/path/file.html

First open a socket to the host www.myhost.com, port 80 (use the default port of 80 because none is specified in the URL). You can then send a request through a socket that looks like the following example:


GET /path/file.html HTTP/1.0                (Request Header Line)
User-Agent: HTTP(S)Adapter                  (Request Header field)

The server sends a response back through the same socket. The response could look like the following example:


HTTP/1.0 200 OK               (Response Header Line)
Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:59:59 GMT                 (Response Header Field)
Content-Type: text/html             (Response Header Field)
Content-Length: 1354                 (Response Header Field)
[blank line here]
<html>                  (Response payload)
<body>
<h1>Happy New Millennium!</h1>
(more file contents)
  .
  .
  .
</body>
</html>

After sending the response, the server closes the socket.
