HTTP message

The request/response message consists of the following:

Request line, such as GET /logo.gif HTTP/1.1 or Status line, such as HTTP/1.1 200 OK,

Headers

An empty line

Optional HTTP message body data

The request/status line and headers must all end with <CR><LF> (that is, a carriage return followed by a line feed). The empty line must consist of only <CR><LF> and no other whitespace.

The "optional HTTP message body data" is what this article defines.
