This is my first attempt at trying to build a Wiki-like knowledge base on top of the Flutterby content management system.
This is a place for explanation, description and static links on a topic that's either too broad to be covered under a single link, or that you're just too lazy to find the real link to.

HTTP is an acryonym for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. It's the protocol used by web servers.
To see it in action, you can telnet to port 80 on a web server host and type in:
GET / HTTP/1.0
Then hit "enter" twice. This will give you the root document on the server. Typing:
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: www.xyz.com
Will get you the root document on the virtual host named "www.xyz.com" on the server you telnetted to.
