    This document summarizes the solutions to a computer networks lab assignment on HTTP requests and responses. It includes: 1) Analyzing the basic HTTP GET request and 200 OK response, including headers, IP addresses, file modification date, and response size. 2) Examining a conditional GET request, noting the absence of an If-Modified-Since header in the second request. 3) Retrieving a long document, the Bill of Rights, which required multiple TCP segments to transfer. 4) Authenticating to a server, where the initial request gets a 401 Unauthorized response and the second includes an Authorization header with Base64-encoded credentials.

    FRIONA POCARI

    CLASS: BINF A
    MARCH,2023

    My solution:
    1. The Basic HTTP GET/response interaction
    1. Is your browser running HTTP version 1.0 or 1.1? What version of HTTP is
    the server running?
    My browser is running on HTTP 1.1 version.
    2. What languages (if any) does your browser indicate that it can accept to
    the server?
    -The server can accept en-gb (United Kingdom English).

    3. What is the IP address of your computer? Of the gaia.cs.umass.edu server?


    -IP of my computer : 192.168.1.67 (Source of first line)
    -IP of gaia server : 128.199.245.12 (Destination of first line)

    4. What is the status code returned from the server to your browser?
    The status returned is 200 OK.
    5. When was the HTML file that you are retrieving last modified at the
    server?
    -The file was last modified at: Sunday, 26 March 2023 05:59:01

    6. How many bytes of content are being returned to your browser?


    There have been returned 371 bytes.
    7. By inspecting the raw data in the packet content window, do you see any
    headers within the data that are not displayed in the packet-listing window?
    If so, name one.
    -After I inspected the raw data, I did not encounter any header within the data
    that is not displayed in the packet-listing window.

    2. The HTTP CONDITIONAL GET/response interaction


    8. Inspect the contents of the first HTTP GET request from your browser to
    the server. Do you see an “IF-MODIFIED-SINCE” line in the HTTP GET?
    -Yes there is a If-modified since line.

    9. Inspect the contents of the server response. Did the server explicitly return
    the contents of the file? How can you tell?
    This is the content:
    10. Now inspect the contents of the second HTTP GET request from your
    browser to the server. Do you see an “IF-MODIFIED-SINCE:” line in the HTTP
    GET? If so, what information follows the “IF-MODIFIED-SINCE:” header?
    -There is no IF-MODIFIED-SINCE LINE.

    11. What is the HTTP status code and phrase returned from the server in
    response to this second HTTP GET? Did the server explicitly return the
    contents of the file?Explain.
    -Since we can the line text with the content, we can say that the server did, in
    fact, return explicitly the contents of the file.

    3. Retrieving Long Documents

    12. How many HTTP GET request messages did your browser send? Which
    packet number in the trace contains the GET message for the Bill or Rights?
    -My browser sent 2 HTTP GET requests.
    -Packet number: 3818
    6948
    13. Which packet number in the trace contains the status code and phrase
    associated with the response to the HTTP GET request?
    -For the first response line, packet no is: 3820.
    -For the second response line, packet no is: 6962.
    14. What is the status code and phrase in the response?
    -The status code is 200, and the response is Ok.

    15. How many data-containing TCP segments were needed to carry the single
    HTTP response and the text of the Bill of Rights?
    -There were needed 4 data-containing TCP segments to carry the single HTTP
    response.
    16. How many HTTP GET request messages did your browser send? To which
    Internet addresses were these GET requests sent?
    -My browser sent 3 HTTP GET request messages.
    17. Can you tell whether your browser downloaded the two images serially,
    or whether they were downloaded from the two web sites in parallel?
    Explain.
    -By analysing the time of the get response lines, since the second picture was
    downloaded after the first one was recived. The pictures were downloaded
    serially.
    5. HTTP Authentication
    18. What is the server’s response (status code and phrase) in response to the
    initial HTTP GET message from your browser?
    -The servers response status is 401 and the phrase is Unauthorized.

    19. When your browser’s sends the HTTP GET message for the second time,
    what new field is included in the HTTP GET message?
    -The new field included is authorization.
    FINAL: While it may appear that your username and password are encrypted, they are simply
    encoded in a format known as Base64 format. The username and password are not encrypted! To
    see this, go to http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp and enter the base64-
    encoded string d2lyZXNoYXJrLXN0dWRlbnRz and decode. Voila!
