I've always read #HTTP as “aitch tee tee pee” and used “an” to prefix an indefinite article to HTTP, but today I saw a sentence with “a HTTP.” Is there a different way to read it among native #English speakers?

Maybe I'm an old grumpy #tech guy, but I really don't like massive complicated frameworks that abstract away well known protocols like #HTTP, #GRPC, etc.

I already know those, I can easily write code that does those, why do I have to learn the convoluted #framework way of doing things that would be 10 seconds work if I could just access the basic http library underneath?

There should be a special case in hell for people serving their "404 Not Found" content with an #HTTP 200 status code.

"#HTTP Structured Fields (SF) are relatively new but pushed pretty hard. Here's a little poll about SF awareness. Also, if you know of #API management products supporting SF, can you please respond with a pointer?

@bignose #Gemini is between #HTTP (the protocol your browser uses) and #Gopher (predecessor of #HTTP). It also gives security the most priority.

#Gemini is basically #Gopher but improved. #Gemini uses a markup language similar to #Markdown to show things. Since the markup is simple, it's more accessible and customizable.

#Gemini doesn't support scripting, and that's a huge plus point for security. #JavaScript is often being used to track you, and crack your browser.

Diese Nummer kann man bei vielen Modellen durch die #Windschutzscheibe von außen ablesen. Darüber gelangten sie eigenen Angaben zufolge an persönliche Daten des #Fahrzeughalters wie Namen und Telefonnummer.«

Mhh, just saw this instance [0] that says they use an #h2o #webserver with quic (quick?) http/3 thingies that's supposed to be awesomely fast. Sounds interesting but I'm no idea what this is about...

Could anyone tell me what's behind and whether/why it's interesting, or point me to some easy-to-grasp summary about it?

try web-server.el instead, is very cool

#EmacsTip: Did you know that #Emacs several web server packages? One such is simple-httpd. As the name suggests, it's simple to use, just M-x httpd-serve-directory, select your directory and you're done. Great for testing your static website or blog (that you probably generated with #Org).

Is anyone around here interested about Data Networks? Does anyone need a smooth start to understand things like HTTP or deeper things like network congestion?
