[Help save the best Linux news source on the web -- subscribe to Linux Weekly News!] It's time for web servers to handle ten thousand clients simultaneously, don't you think? After all, the web is a big place now. And computers are big, too. You can buy a 1000MHz machine with 2 gigabytes of RAM and an 1000Mbit/sec Ethernet card for $1200 or so. In 1999 one of the busiest ftp sites, cdrom.com, actually handled 10000 clients simultaneously through a Gigabit Ethernet pipe. And the thin client model of computing appears to be coming back in style -- this time with the server out on the Internet, serving thousands of clients.
With that in mind, here are a few notes on how to configure operating systems and write code to support thousands of clients.

HTTP extension for collaborative editing Many[which?] Modern operating systems (such as GNOME Desktop Environment for Linux) provide built-in client-side support for WebDAV. [citation needed] The meetings resulted in the formation of an IETF working group because the new effort would lead to extensions to HTTP, which the IETF had started to standardize.
As work began on the protocol, it became clear that handling both distributed authoring and versioning together would involve too much work and that the tasks would have to be separated. WebDAV extends the set of standard HTTP verbs and headers allowed for request methods. The properties of WebDAV protocol are name–value pair, in which a "name" is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and the "values" are expressed through XML elements.
Documents produced by the working group [edit] The WebDAV working group produced several works: Other documents published through IETF Extensions and derivatives Additional Windows-specific extensions. Js.io - JavaScript Network Library. Orbited – Networking for the Web.
