Here is an example of an HTTP response from a server to a client request:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Wednesday, 02-Feb-95 23:04:12 GMT
Server: NCSA/1.3
MIME-version: 1.0
Last-modified: Monday, 15-Nov-93 23:33:16 GMT
Content-type: text/html
Content-length: 2345
* a blank line *
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE> . . .
The server agrees to use HTTP version 1.0 for
communication and sends the status 200 indicating it has
successfully processed the client's request.
It then sends the date and identifies itself as an NCSA HTTP server.
It also indicates it is using MIME version 1.0 to describe
the information it is sending, and includes the MIME-type of the
information about to be sent in the "Content-type:" header.
Finally, it sends the number of characters it is going to send,
followed by a blank line and the data itself.
Client and server headers are RFC 822 compliant mail headers.
A Client may send any number of Accept: headers and the
server is expected to convert the data into a form the
client can accept.
