In this interactive learning session, we will dissect the HTTP protocol to learn what goes on under the hood. Using simple command line tools and a simple test server, we will discover how browsers communicate with servers. Through this exploration we will discover what headers are, how they work and why some (like Cookies and Agents) are more equal than others and how this influences the outcome of the server.
