The HTTP Protocol As Implemented In W3

This is a subset of the proposed full HTTP protocol. No client profile information is transferred with the query. Future HTTP protocols will be back-compatible with this protocol. The definition of this protocol is in the public domain (see policy ). The protocol uses the normal internet-style telnet protocol style on a TCP-IP link. Connection The client makes a TCP-IP connection to the host using the domain name or IP number , and the port number given in the address. If the port number is not specified, 80 is always assumed for HTTP. The server accepts the connection. Note: HTTP currently runs over TCP, but could run over any connection-oriented service. Request The client sends a document request consisting of a line of ASCII characters terminated by a CR LF (carriage return, line feed) pair.

Response Disconnection Requests are idempotent . HyperText Mark-up Language. Hypertext Terms. Hypertext HTML formatting example. Future plans for HTML. The HTML language has been in use in the field since 1990, and several suggestions have been made for improvements.

Future plans for HTML

See working notes . A new DTD will be the result. Bad HTML Much of the HTML actually around has been generated by the NeXTStep editor, which has in fact generated bad HTML. This should not confuse the specification. A perl script was written by Dan Connolly to clean up bad HTML. Also, see Dan's HTML spec (draft) which contains a sort of test suite. New features Please mail me mentioning this list if you think of features I have missed out. Header A wrapper element for all the document-wide information such as title, document-wide links, etc. Disadvantage: If mandatory, the size of the minimum document is increased. A "Body" tag might be useful in the same light, for the rest. Link A document-wide link, as distinct from a localized anchor.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research. 6 March 2013 A question of spin for the new boson Physicists speaking today at the Moriond conference in La Thuile, Italy, have announced that the new particle discovered at CERN last year is looking more and more like a Higgs boson.

However, more analysis is still required before a definitive statement can be made. The key to a positive identification of the particle is a detailed analysis of its properties and the way that it interacts with other particles. Since the announcement last July, much more data has been analysed, and these properties are becoming clearer. The key property that will allow us to say whether or not it is a Higgs particle is called spin. "Until we can confidently tie down the particle's spin," said CERN Research Director Sergio Bertolucci, "the particle will remain Higgs-like. Even then, the work will be far from over.
