RESET

• Roy Fielding is one who helped write the first web servers and he did a lot of researches to explain why the server do this journey.
• He and his friends found the HTTP.
• His name is on the specification for the protocol that is used to get pages from servers to your browser.
• Webs are using HTTP protocol.
• http, which is the first word in an url, tells the browser what protocol to use.
• You can think of it like GPS coordinates for knowledge and information.
• The whole world wide web is built on an architectural style called REST.
• REST provides a definition of a “resource”, which is what those things point to.
• A web page is a “representation” of a resource.
• URLs tell the browser that there’s a concept somewhere.
• We need some way of having one machine tell another machine about a resource that might be on yet another machine.
• Redirect: when the client ask for something and the server tell the client to get that thing from other servers.
• URL is used to tell machine where are things.
• The reason of sucking machine is that machines don’t have a universal noun.
• Some verbs are almost universal like GET, PUT, and DELETE.
• HTTP is all about applying verbs on nouns.
• Web pages are designed to be understood by people.
• Machines basically just need the data.
• Each of the systems would retrieve information from each other using a simple HTTP GET.
• If one system needs to add something to another system, it would use an HTTP POST.
• If a system wants to replace something in another system, it uses an HTTP PUT.

SuperAgent

• SuperAgent is light-weight progressive ajax API crafted for flexibility, readability, and a low learning curve after being frustrated with many of the existing request APIs. It also works with Node.js!
• A request can be initiated by invoking the appropriate method on the request object, then calling .then() (or .end() or await) to send the request.
• In web browsers absolute URLs work only if the server implements CORS.
• The Node client supports making requests to Unix Domain Sockets.
• The .query() method accepts objects, which when used with the GET method will form a query-string.
• It can also used for HEAD requests.
• SuperAgent will automatically serialize JSON and forms.
