602 Part IV: Appendixes


An example server response is shown here to illustrate the request line, the selection of
headers, and the start of the content.

In the case of a binary data response, the result is the same, though the message payload
may not be terribly meaningful when viewed in a protocol analysis tool:

Response Headers


The particular headers that may be found in HTTP 1.1 responses are shown in Table B-8. A
few items in the table, such as Keep-Alive, Public, and Set-Cookie, are not actually part
of the HTTP 1.1 spec but are ubiquitously supported so are still included. Also, as you
inspect the table be careful about assuming omission: some headers, such as Last-
Modified, might seem to be solely response headers but are not defined in this table
because they are actually entity headers, which are outlined in Table B-4.
