  • Allows small text inputs such as names or emails.
  • Syntax includes attributes like:
    • TYPE="text": Defines the field as a single-line input.
    • SIZE="40": Displays 40 characters.
    • MAXLENGTH="30": Limits input to 30 characters.
    • NAME: Identifies the field for data processing.

Multi-line Text Entry

  • Structural elements include:
    • ,
      ,
  • Reduces reliance on
    elements for structure.

HTTP and TCP/IP

  • HTTP is built on the TCP/IP protocol, requiring a TCP connection to exchange requests/responses.
  • HTTP/1.0 opens a separate TCP connection for each request, which is less efficient than persistent connections.

HTTPS

  • Stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, providing secure data transmission.
  • Utilizes SSL/TLS for encryption, ensuring safety when transmitting personal information.
  • Websites require an SSL certificate for HTTPS, typically issued by a Certificate Authority.

HTTP Messages

  • Consist of requests and responses, with formats defined in HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.
  • Requests include:
    • HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST), resource path, version, optional headers, and body for data submission.
  • Responses consist of:
    • Protocol version, status code, status message, headers, and possibly a body with fetched resource.

Connection Types

  • HTTP supports nonpersistent and persistent connections:
    • Nonpersistent connections close after the server sends the requested object.
    • Persistent connections allow for multiple requests/responses over a single TCP connection, improving efficiency.
