HTTP Developer’s Handbook by Chris Shiflett

HTTP Developer’s Handbook

An essential guide to the HTTP protocol for web developers.

“Where the book really sparkles is in the section on improving performance. Few books have looked at the HTTP protocol’s underlying mechanisms for controlling caching as this one. In lucid prose, Shiflett presents the various caching directives and their exact meaning.”
