Today I learned - HTTP Requests

Today I learned about HTTP requests and completed the Umbrella project. HTTP requests are the fundamental unit of web applications. The request is sent from the client to the server, which responds to the request. The request line is the first line of the HTTP request and contains three parts: the verb, the resource path, and the HTTP version. The status line is the first line of the response and contains the HTTP version, the status code, and the reason phrase. Ruby has useful libraries for placing HTTP requests.
