Lecture 10-8-2007 http and RSS

HTTP, Hypertext Transfer Protocol

http is based on request-response model. If you don't send requests, there will be no responses from any servers at all.

Limitations

If you have a lot of blogs and news groups to read frequently, the request-response behaviors will cost you time to examine each content source respectively. Unfortunately, you may check into websites that have no updates since you checked in last time.

RSS 2.0

RSS 2.0 is a syndication standard using XML. With RSS 2.0, you can subscribe to the source feeds in RSS 2.0 format. Many RSS 2.0 readers can keep an unread list for you, so that you always see the latest updates from the information sources you subscribe to.

Introduction to Internet

Inventor of the internet technology packet switching, Leonard Kleinrock

" Dr. Leonard Kleinrock created the basic principles of packet switching, the technology underpinning the Internet, while a graduate student at MIT. This was a decade before the birth of the Internet which occurred when his host computer at UCLA became the first node of the Internet in September 1969."

Tim Berners-Lee

"In 1989 he invented the World Wide Web, an internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as Web technology spread."
