What is HTTP Header?


.
HTTP header fields provide required information about the request or response, or about the object sent in the message body. There are four types of HTTP message headers:
  • General-header: These header fields have general applicability for both request and response messages.
  • Client Request-header: These header fields have applicability only for request messages.
  • Server Response-header: These header fields have applicability only for response messages.
  • Entity-header: These header fields define meta information about the entity-body or, if no body is present, about the resource identified by the request.
