HTTPER Description

The HTTPER aplication was designed to be a command-line driven utility for communication using Hypertext Transfer Protocol on TCP / IP networks. HTTPER can be used in scripts for unattended web check, for scheduled HTTP download / upload, or for investigation of HTTP headers. HyperText Transfer Protocol HTTP is specified in RFC2616. The Client who wants to get a piece of information from the Server has to know its IP address and full name of desired object on the web server. Then the Client establishes TCP connection with the Server and sends so called Request. Server replies with a Response which may contain requested data - e.g. HTML file, text, picture. In ordinary web browsing this all is hidden when a user clicks on a favourite link in his/her Internet Explorer. Using HTTPER utility is different: the request must be prepared in advance as a text file and the received response is stored on disk rather than displayed with all bells and whistles. HTTPER can also act as a special HTTP server. Unlike real servers (Apache, IIS etc.) it does not parse the request. HTTPER server only sends the off-shelf response and quits.
