• Evolving the Web: Discovering the History of HTTP Versions

  HTTP/1.1 was such a game changer for the Internet that it works so well that even through two revisions, RFC 2616 published in June 1999 and RFC 7230– RFC 7235 published in June 2014, HTTP/1.1 was extremely stable until the release of HTTP/2.0 in 2014 — Nearly 18 years later. Before continuing to the next section about HTTP/2.0, let us revisit what journey HTTP/1.1 has been through. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Poll: Are client web requests sent to upstream servers or downstream servers?

  On the one hand, it just seems natural that "upstream" refers to the inbound request being sent from one system to another. It takes effort (connection pooling, throttling, retries, etc.) to make a request to an (upstream) dependency, just as it takes effort to swim upstream. The response is (usually) easy... Just return it... hence, "downstream". Recall the usual meaning of "upload" and "download". Upstream seems... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• How to cache TCP, SSL handshake on ALB?

  To me it sounds like you’ve not solved this as the config you’ve mentioned is about preventing “illegal” (none RFC7230 ) requests, it isn’t really related to the problem you posted. Source: over 2 years ago

• HTTP Protocol Overview

  The program you are using to send data to the server may or may not automatically determine the right content-type header for your data, and knowing how to set and check headers is an essential skill. To learn more about the HTTP protocol check out the MDN guide or read the official standard, RFC 7230. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Show HN: Micro HTTP server in 22 lines of C

  It's neat, but I don't believe it is a compliant implementation of HTTP/1.1 (or 1.0). For example, it does not handle percent-encoded characters in the request URI.[1][2] [1]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7230#section-3.1.1 [2]: https://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/spec.html#Request-URI. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Best useful tools that are helpful in your business?

  We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background. https://syncthing.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices

  This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement. Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ? I have used both for a number of years already. [1] https://syncthing.net/ [2] https://github.com/schollz/croc. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?

  I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/. After minimal setup, it just works(tm). You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup"). I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. Windows -> linux, linux -> mac) For windows I usually recommend - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop

  Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client. https://syncthing.net/ https://www.mobiussync.com/ One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice.... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
