Lecture Topic: Advanced HTTP # HTTP2 Goal is to reduce latency, but keep the same methods, status codes, and header fields. Changes how data is formatted and transmitted between clients - Prioritises transmission of requested objects, and give a request a weight to each request to indicate priority - Server pushes additional objects to client, by sending multiple responses to a single client request, before receiving explicit - Head of line blocking - Before in HTTP 1.1 the request are blocked by large requests, as objects are delivered in sequence, and a workaround is to setup multiple TCP connections to request many objects at once - In version 2, objects are divided into *frames* and frame transmission is interleaved in a round robin fashion # HTTP3 Improved performance even further by using streaming, by using the "QUIC" protocol over a bare UDP connection # HTML Versions - HTML 1.0 Is written by Tim Berners-Lee - HTML 1,2,3,4, 4.01 published in in 1999 - XHTML is an extensible version of HTML, based on XML - HTML5 - New elements, section for documents, figure for content flow, video, audio, canvas for multimedia - New APIs to prompt users, like alert(), confirm(), prompt(), and printing with print() HTML is a markup language that uses tags (list and explanation of common html tags) # CSS CSS defines the visual style of a document
