🛠️ Understanding HTTP Headers 🛠️
When your browser communicates with a web server, they exchange HTTP headers—small pieces of data that play a big role in web communication.
🔹 HTTP Request Header : Sent by your browser to the server. It includes details like the type of content you expect, the type of files you can accept, and even your browser type (user-agent). It also tells the server what cookies you have and where the request came from.
🔹 HTTP Response Header : Sent back by the server. It contains information like the server’s software, the type of content it’s sending, and any cookies it wants to save on your device. It also indicates if the response can be shared with other sites and how long the content can be cached.
Understanding these headers helps in optimizing web applications and ensuring efficient communication between client and server.
