The goal of these programming exercises is to practise:
- working with a web server
- working with a web client
- creating simple HTML pages
Exercise 1
Analyse the following HTTP request:
GET /martignon/index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: cs.unibg.it
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/124
(KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125
Accept: ext/xml, application/xml, application/xhtml+xml, text/html;q=0.9,
text/plain;q=0.8, image/png,*,*;q=0.5
Accept-Language: it
Keep-Alive: 300
Connection: keep-alive
- What is the requested URL?
- Which version of HTTP is used?
- Does the browser ask for a persistent or a non-persistent connection?
- What is, in your opinion, the utility in indicating the type (and version) of browser used by the client in the HTTP Request?
Exercise 2
An HTTP client sends the following message:
GET http://cs.unibg.it /index.html HTTP/1.1
User-agent: Mozilla/4.0
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg

Write down two feasible responses of the HTTP server (only the status line)
An HTML Form is a section of the document that collects input from the user. The input from the user is generally sent to a server (Web servers, Mail clients, etc). We use the HTML <form> element to create forms in HTML.
Read this documentation, and create a HTML form that looks like the following:
