8. HTTP Protocols

  •   HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
  •  WWW is about communication between web clients and servers
  • Communication between client computers and web servers is done by sending HTTP Requests and receiving HTTP Responses.

World Wide Web Communication

  • The World Wide Web is about communication between web clients and web servers.
  • Clients are often browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari), but they can be any type of program or device.
  • Servers are most often computers in the cloud.

HTTP Request / Response

Communication between clients and servers is done by requests and responses:
  •  A client (a browser) sends an HTTP request to the web
  • A web server receives the request
  • The server runs an application to process the request
  • The server returns an HTTP response (output) to the browser
  • The client (the browser) receives the response

The HTTP Request Circle

A typical HTTP request / response circle:
  • The browser requests an HTML page. The server returns an HTML file.
  • The browser requests a style sheet. The server returns a CSS file.
  • The browser requests a JPG image. The server returns a JPG file.
  • The browser requests JavaScript code. The server returns a JS file
  • The browser requests data. The server returns data (in XML or JSON).

XHR - XML Http Request

All browsers have a built-in XMLHttpRequest Object (XHR).
XHR is a JavaScript object that is used to transfer data between a web browser and a web server.
XHR is often used to request and receive data for the purpose of modifying a web page.
Despite the XML and Http in the name, XHR is used with other protocols than HTTP, and the data can be of many different types like HTML, CSS, XML, JSON, and plain text.
The XHR Object is a Web Developers Dream, because you can:
  •     Update a web page without reloading the page
  •     Request data from a server - after the page has loaded
  •     Receive data from a server - after the page has loaded
  •     Send data to a server - in the background
The XHR Object is the underlying concept of AJAX and JSON:

Overview of NEO6M GPS Module This module is one of popular GPS modules on the market and is also cheap to buy. The location data provided by it is accurate enough to satisfy most applications. And for it to be included in smart phones and tablets design points out its efficiency. This module is famous among hobbyist and engineers altogether who want to work on applications involving navigation. The NEO-6MV2 is a GPS (Global Positioning System) module and is used for navigation. The module simply checks its location on earth and provides output data which is longitude and latitude of its position. It is from a family of stand-alone GPS receivers featuring the high-performance u-blox 6 positioning engine. These flexible and cost-effective receivers offer numerous connectivity options in a miniature (16 x 2.4 mm) package. The compact architecture, power and memory options make NEO-6 modules ideal for battery operated mobile devices with very strict cost and space constraints. Its

Overview of IFTTT If This Then That, also known as IFTTT. it is a free web-based service to create chains of simple conditional statements, called applets. An applet is   triggered   by   changes   that   occur   within   other   web   services   such as Gmail, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram, or Pinterest. For example, an applet may send an e-mail message if the user tweets using a hashtag, or copy a photo on Facebook to a user's archive if someone tags a user in a photo. In addition to the web-based application, the service runs on iOS and Android. In February 2015, IFTTT renamed its original application to IF, and released a new suite of apps called Do, which lets users create shortcut applications and actions. As of   2015, IFTTT users created about 20 million recipes each day. All of the functionalities of the Do suite of apps have since been integrated into a redesigned IFTTT app. IFTTT is the free way to do more with hundreds of the apps and device
