  1. Internet apps: their protocols and transport protocols Application Underlying layer protocol Application transport protocol e-mail smtp [RFC 821] World Wide Web TCP remote terminal access telnet [RFC 854] TCP Web http [RFC 2068] TCP ftp [RFC 959] file transfer TCP streaming multimedia proprietary TCP or UDP HTTP (e.g. RealNetworks) NFS remote file server TCP or UDP Internet telephony proprietary typically UDP (e.g., Vocaltec) 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 1 2 The World Wide Web URI/URL/URN ❒ Web is a collection of documents, called ❒ URI: “uniform resource identifier” Web pages ❒ Originally, a generalization of: ❒ Each page consists from objects ❍ URL (uniform resource locator), ❒ Each object is a file of a specific type: ❍ URN (uniform resource name), ❍ html, gif, jpeg, applet and etc ❍ URC (uniform resource citation), ❒ The most common is a html file with ❍ and potentially others, references to other objects ❒ but mainly, URL and URN 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 3 4 URL Port Numbers ( e.g. http://www.cs.huji.ac.il:80/~com1/index.html ❒ URL (uniform resource locator) ❒ A computer may have Internet Address and host name(s). (Usually only one) ❒ Each WWW page assigned a URL ❒ Several application may run on the same ❍ Which specifies page name, location and way to computer access it. ❒ For each protocol a “standard port” is ❒ Each URL has FOUR parts reserved(e.g. 80 for http) ❍ Protocol that must be used to access the page ❒ Unix allows to only super user to run ❍ The DNS name of the machine on which page is located applications which use local port number < 1024 ❍ Port number to contact (optional) ❍ Local name of specific page (usually file name) 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 5 6 1

  2. The http protocol: more WWW: the http protocol http is “stateless” http: hypertext transfer http: TCP transport protocol service: ❒ server maintains no h t t p r e information about q ❒ WWW’s application layer u ❒ client initiates TCP e PC running s http response t past client requests protocol Explorer connection (creates socket) to server, port 80 ❒ client/server model aside ❒ server accepts TCP ❍ client: browser that Protocols that maintain t s e u connection from client “state” are complex! requests, receives, q e http response r Server p t t “displays” WWW h ❒ http messages (application- running ❒ past history (state) must objects NCSA Web layer protocol messages) be maintained server exchanged between browser ❍ server: WWW server ❒ if server/client crashes, (http client) and WWW sends objects in their views of “state” may Mac running server (http server) response to requests be inconsistent, must be Navigator ❒ TCP connection closed ❒ http1.0: RFC 1945 reconciled ❒ http1.1: RFC 2068 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 7 8 http example Reliable Data Transfer Suppose user enters URL (contains text, ❒ TCP protocol is used by HTTP parties www.someSchool.edu/someDepartment/home.index references to 10 jpeg images) (Client and Server) to communicate 1a . http client initiates TCP connection to http server ❒ The http messages eventually achieve 1b. http server at host (process) at www.someSchool.edu waiting their destination without dublications www.someSchool.edu.

Pipelining 4. http server closes TCP connection. ❒ Persistent connection may use pipelining 5 . http client receives response message containing html file, ❒ Without pipelining displays html. Parsing html file, finds 10 referenced jpeg ❍ A new request is sent only when the response to objects the previous one has been received. 6.

  3. HTTP REQUEST MESSAGES http message format: request ❒ Methods: ❒ two types of http messages: request , response ❒ http request message: ❍ GET: Request to read an object ❍ ASCII (human-readable format) ❍ HEAD: Request to read an object’s request line headers (GET, POST, GET /somedir/page.html HTTP/1.1 HEAD commands) Connection: close ❍ POST: Request to accept the User-agent: Mozilla/4.0 header object enclosed in the request Accept: text/html, image/gif,image/jpeg lines Accept-language:fr Carriage return, (extra carriage return, line feed) line feed indicates end of message 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 13 14 http message format: reply http request message: general format status line (protocol status code HTTP/1.1 200 OK status phrase) Connection: close Date: Thu, 06 Aug 1998 12:00:15 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.0 (Unix) header Last-Modified: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 …... lines Content-Length: 6821 Content-Type: text/html data data data data data ... data, e.g., requested html file 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 15 16 Status codes http reply status codes In first line in server->client response message. ❒ 1..

Server Error Codes 400 Bad Request ❍ request message not understood by server 404 Not Found ❍ requested document not found on this server 505 HTTP Version Not Supported 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 17 18 3

  4. Trying out http (client side) for yourself User-server interaction: authentication server client 1. Telnet to your favorite WWW server: Authentication goal: control access to server documents usual http request msg Opens TCP connection to port 80 telnet www.eurecom.fr 80 ❒ stateless: client must present 401: authorization req. (default http server port) at www.eurecom.fr. authorization in each request Anything typed in sent WWW authenticate: ❒ authorization: typically name, to port 80 at www.eurecom.fr password usual http request msg 2. Type in a GET http request: ❍ authorization: header + Authorization:line line in request By typing this in (hit carriage usual http response msg GET /~ross/index.html HTTP/1.0 ❍ if no authorization return twice), you send presented, server refuses this minimal (but complete) access, sends usual http request msg GET request to http server + Authorization:line WWW authenticate: 3. Look at response message sent by http server! time header line in response usual http response msg 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 19 20 User-server interaction: cookies User-server interaction: conditional GET server server client client ❒ server sends “cookie” to ❒ Goal: don’t send object if client in response client has up-to-date stored usual http request msg http request msg (cached) version Set-cookie: # usual http response + object If-modified-since: ❒ client present cookie in ❒ client: specify date of Set-cookie: # <date> not cached copy in http request later requests modified http response If-modified-since: HTTP/1.0 cookie: # usual http request msg cookie- 304 Not Modified <date> ❒ server matches cookie: # spectific ❒ server: response contains presented-cookie with usual http response msg action no object if cached copy up- server-stored cookies to-date: http request msg ❍ authentication If-modified-since: object HTTP/1.0 304 Not usual http request msg ❍ remembering user cookie- <date> modified Modified cookie: # preferences, previous spectific http response choices usual http response msg action HTTP/1.1 200 OK … <data> 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 21 22 Web Caches (proxy server) Why WWW Caching? origin Goal: satisfy client request without involving origin server servers Assume: cache is “close” to client (e.g., in same ❒ user sets browser: public origin Internet WWW accesses via network) server web cache Proxy ❒ smaller response time: t ❒ client sends all http http request s e server u q cache “closer” to e http response r requests to web cache http response p 1.5 Mbps t client t h client access link ❍ if object at web cache, web cache t ❒ decrease traffic to s institutional e u http request q e immediately returns http response network r p distant servers 10 Mbps LAN t t http response object in http h ❍ link out of response institutional/local ISP ❍ else requests object client network often from origin server, institutional origin then returns http bottleneck cache server response to client 2: Application Layer 2: Application Layer 23 24 4
