http://loadaveragezero.com/app/drx/Internet/Protocols/HTTP The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http) is what drives the Web, it is based on the client-server programming model. It is a simple, stateless protocol in which a browser (the client) requests a resource from a server and renders the results. HTTP HTTP Computers/Internet/Protocols/HTTP © 2004-2008, Douglas W.

The difference can be dramatic. A site that is difficult to cache may take several seconds to load, while one that takes advantage of caching can seem instantaneous in comparison. 2006-02-13T21:26:54Z http://loadaveragezero.com/app/drx/Internet/Protocols/HTTP#mnot:cache http://loadaveragezero.com/hnav/contact.php#form cache http performance webserver Computers/Internet/Protocols/HTTP http://loadaveragezero.com/app/drx/Internet/Protocols/HTTP#dwm:http Pay close attention to the protocol Behind the Curtain!
