HTTP Header Fields: A Comprehensive Dataset
How information is encoded and sent/received on the internet
About this dataset
The HTTP header fields dataset is a list of over 100 different strings that are sent and received by both the client program and server on every HTTP request and response. These headers are usually invisible to the end-user and are only processed or logged by the server and client applications.
How to use the dataset
Research Ideas
- Determine the most common headers that are sent and received by both the client program and server.
- Determine the most efficient way to encode information on the internet.
- Determine which headers are necessary for different types of internet applications
