大家都很熟悉HTTP協(xié)議的應用，因為每天都在網(wǎng)絡上瀏覽著不少東西，也都知道是HTTP協(xié)議是相當簡單的。每次用 thunder之類的下載軟件下載網(wǎng)頁，當用到那個“用thunder下載全部鏈接”時總覺得很神奇。
后來想想，其實要實現(xiàn)這些下載功能也并不難，只要按照HTTP協(xié)議發(fā)送request，然后對接收到的數(shù)據(jù)進行分析，如果頁面上還有href之類的鏈接指 向標志就可以進行深一層的下載了。HTTP協(xié)議目前用的最多的是1.1 版本，要全面透徹地搞懂它就參考RFC2616文檔吧。我是怕rfc文檔了的,要看自己去看吧^_^
