Interview: What are the Differences Between RPC and HTTP?

What are the differences between RPC and HTTP? 1. Differences: 1. Transmission Protocol RPC can be based on TCP protocol or HTTP protocol. HTTP is based on HTTP protocol. 2. Transmission Efficiency RPC, using a custom TCP protocol, can make the request payload smaller, or using HTTP2 protocol can also significantly reduce the payload size, … Read more

Understanding the Statelessness of the HTTP Protocol

In simple terms, it means there is no past, no history. It is important to emphasize that the HTTP protocol is stateless only when cookies are not enabled; when cookies are enabled, it is actually stateful. Here, we will assume that cookies are not enabled. Imagine a scenario where you have developed a web site … Read more

Bid Farewell to HttpClient Pain Points: An In-Depth Analysis of .NET HttpClientFactory Design and Best Practices

Introduction In modern .NET development, HttpClient is the core class used for sending HTTP requests and receiving responses. However, directly using HttpClient can lead to several issues, such as socket exhaustion and inability to adapt to DNS changes. To address these problems, .NET Core 2.1 introduced HttpClientFactory. This article will delve into how HttpClientFactory works, … Read more

Differences Between HTTP Long Connections and Short Connections

Differences Between HTTP Long Connections and Short Connections In today’s rapidly developing internet technology, the HTTP protocol, as the core protocol for web applications, plays a crucial role in user experience and application performance. HTTP long connections and short connections, as two common connection methods, each have unique advantages and applicable scenarios. This article will … Read more

Understanding the HTTP Protocol

The HTTP protocol serves as the “common language” of the internet, supporting our daily web browsing, app usage, and API calls. Today, let’s discuss this seemingly simple yet profoundly rich protocol. What is HTTP? HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) acts like a courier in the internet world, responsible for delivering information between the client (such as … Read more

Detailed Explanation of Heartbeat, Packet Loss Retransmission, and Connection Timeout Mechanisms in the TCP/IP Protocol Stack

Recently, we encountered a project where the client’s network environment was unstable, leading to occasional packet loss and network jitter. This caused our software client to intermittently disconnect from the server, interrupting ongoing video conferences. This article takes this opportunity to explain in detail the heartbeat mechanism, packet loss retransmission mechanism, and other related content … Read more
