HTTP Cheatsheet

• Curl localhost:[url] —verbose : shows information about the request/returns of the server

• request OPTIONS : Returns all method options

• The request head starts with a “request line”, in this case: GET / HTTP/1.1 Where the first word is the HTTP method (GET), then comes the path requested from the server (/), and finally the protocol (HTTP) and version (1.1).

HTTP Methods

Options

The options method shows all the available methods for the requested URL. When you send the request, the server’s respons are the possible methods.

GET

The get method gets data from a provided URL

HEAD

Basically the same as GET, but tells the server not to send any data back.

POST

Is used to add something to a resource

PUT

PUT is used to place a resource somewhere, whether it exists already or not.

PATCH

The patch method can be used to update some partials of a resource

DELETE

Delete things

Status codes

Status codes in the range of 4xx mean that the client made an error 200 means its OK. I didn’t bothered to learn all the statuscode because I can easily find them in a list somewhere. There are a lot of statuscodes, you can find them here Some statuscodes I stumbled upon doing this assignment

• 405 not allowed
• 422 Unprocessable Entity means that the request was valid,
• 201 the request has been successful and a new resource is being created.

P.S., do you remember the github prereq?

Take some time to set up your GitHub profile. Include your name, a profile picture, and a URL to your homepage. You’re allowed to stay anonymous online for this course by omitting sensitive information, but a good looking GitHub profile can help you get an internship or job later.
