I'm creating a client-server application which communicates via a custom socket protocol. I'd like the client to be usable from within networks that have a restrictive firewall (corporate, school, etc.). Usually this is done by connecting via HTTP, since that's always available.

I need to develop a feature in the system which allows unregistered users to get one-off system access via URL token that is generated/sent by an authenticated user. For example, a user logs in and wants to share a piece of information so the system generates a URL like http://host/page?token=jkb345k4b5234k54kh5345kb34kb34. Then this UR...

Encode them with base64? On the other side the data, which I have in utf-8 is XML ...

Is there any difference in network communication for HTTP GET and POST requests? With GET, I understand that the entire request is sent in one go. With POST, I think the initial request is sent, and then a second request is sent which sends all the parameters. For example, assume that the latency between server and client is 500ms. Wha...

Greetings all, I've been told by co-workers that the GET method is different in HTTP 1.0 and 1.1.

All of the variables have to be specified in the URI as CGI type variables. However, in HTTP 1.0 GET all...
