Wong explains HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) requests and socket calls, then shows how you can use the LWP library for Perl to retrieve Web pages, parse HTML, check whether a server is responding, and more.]]> 386275 3.07 15 3 1997 726494 1565928628 9781565928626 0 <![CDATA[HTTP Pocket Reference: Hypertext Transfer Protocol]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177696013m/726494.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177696013s/726494.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/726494.HTTP_Pocket_Reference_Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol 3.00 5 HTTP Pocket Reference not only provides a solid conceptual foundation of HTTP, it also serves as a quick reference to each of the headers and status codes that comprise an HTTP transaction. The book starts with a tutorial of HTTP, but then explains the client request and server responses in more detail, and gives a thorough technical explanation of more advanced features of HTTP (such as persistent connections and caching). Most people use the Web every day without knowing anything about HTTP, but for those who need to get "beyond the browser," this book is the place to start.]]> 386275 3.07 15 3 2000 1756663 1565922654 9781565922655 0 <![CDATA[Scripting Languages: Automating the Web]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1187805449m/1756663.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1187805449s/1756663.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1756663.Scripting_Languages_Automating_the_Web 0.0 0 Scripting Languages: Automating the Web guides users and developers in choosing and deploying scripting solutions. End users benefit from client-side scripting to make pages livelier, to automate form-filling, and to accelerate web user interfaces like live select-box widgets. Even the most basic web server software has scripting gateways to create more active web content. Server-side includes and markup allow servers to customize pages on-the-fly. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) hooks allow developers to create entire pages and graphics under program control.

This issue of the World Wide Web Journal explores how users can add scriptable and extensible behavior to the Web in a variety of ways. For example, within the web client user interface, we offer articles on JavaScript (Nick Heinle), Python (Guido van Rossum), and VBScript (Paul Lomax). Next, within the web server programming interface, see Lincoln Stein's article on exploring CGI with Perl, Ron Petrusha's "Why WIN-CGI?", and Clint Wong's description of LWP -- the library modules for WWW access in Perl. Finally, as a back-end gateway to other services, are articles on World Wide Web gateways (Shishir Gundavaram) and web database connectivity with scripting (Peter Lazar).

In addition, this issue examines the web-wide impact of Perl as the scripting language of choice for webmasters everywhere, with an in-depth article featuring Perl developers Larry Wall and Tom Christiansen.
