Title : Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol
with the lightness and speed necessary for distributed, collaborative,
hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, object-oriented
protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and
distributed object management systems, through extension of its request
methods (commands). A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data
representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data
being transferred.

HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative
since 1990. This specification reflects preferred usage of the protocol
referred to as "HTTP/1.0".
