Learning how to use HTTP requests

Question

I would like to learn about HTTP requests. I checked lot of websites, but I don't know where to start learning and understand it.

I'm learning Java and playing around a lot with Titanium. So it would be great if someone could guide me.

are you trying to know how it works with Titanium or just learn generally? — Aaron Saunders, Mar 24 '11 at 17:20

Since you are using Java, you should also look into Servlets and JSPs. This will give you a more non-abstract view into the HTTP world. You will understand how it is used at an application level.

If you are into turning pages, I suggest http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Servlets-JSP-Certified/dp/0596005407

If you want online tutorials you can find them by googling "Servlet and jsp tutorials".

An overview can be found here
