Answer from AI
An HTTP request consists of several main components:
- Request Line: contains the method (GET, POST, etc.), the URI of the resource, and the HTTP protocol version.
- Headers: a set of key-value pairs that convey meta-information about the request (e.g., Content-Type, User-Agent, Authorization).
- Request Body: an optional part that contains data sent to the server (e.g., in POST or PUT requests).
Example of a request line and headers:
POST /api/users HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer token
{"name":"John"}
Thus, the structure of an HTTP request includes the method, URI, protocol version, headers, and, if necessary, a body with data.
