Welcome to the Basic Tutorial section! Here, we'll cover fundamental concepts for beginners.

What is an HTTP Server?

An HTTP server is a software that listens for requests and serves responses over the web. Key features include:

  • Handling GET, POST, and other HTTP methods
  • Managing URL paths and query parameters
  • Serving static or dynamic content

💡 Example: When a user visits /en/tutorials/basic, the server processes this path to display the current tutorial.

GET Request Basics

The GET method is used to retrieve data from the server.

  • No request body is sent (parameters are in the URL)
  • Safe and idempotent (doesn't alter server state)
  • Commonly used for loading pages or fetching resources

📚 To dive deeper, check our Advanced Tutorials section for more details on request handling.

Path Structure

A typical path like /en/tutorials/basic follows this pattern:

  1. Language code (/en/)
  2. Main category (/tutorials/)
  3. Sub-section (/basic/)

🛠️ You can explore other paths such as:

  • /zh/tutorials/intermediate (中文中级教程)
  • /en/tutorials/security (安全指南)
