  HTTP Protocol
  HTTP versions: GET, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE, TRACE and CONNECT
  Structure of HTTP Transactions
    A request line has three parts: a method name, the local path of the requested resource, version of HTTP,
                           example GET /           path/to/file/index.html                   HTTP/1.0
    The initial response line: the HTTP version, a response status code and an English reason phrase
                           example HTTP/1.0      200 OK                     or HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found
  status codes
  1xx indicates an informational message only
  2xx indicates success of some kind
    200 OK The request succeeded
  3xx redirects the client to another URL
    301 Moved Permanently
    302 Moved Temporarily
    303 Moved to another URL
    304 Not Modified
  4xx indicates an error on the client’s part 
    401 Authorization Required
    403 Forbidden The request was a valid request, but the server is refusing to respond to it.

    500 Internal Server Error	  An unexpected server error.
