DIY: client software • Names of programs:Originally “nslookup” (name server lookup) Windows: Still called nslookup Linux: nslookup (deprecated) host, dig (“Domain Internet Groper”) • Configuration e.g. specify local domain and default servers Through DHCP, or • Windows: Control Panel -> Network Properties • Linux: /etc/resolv.conf • Control of name cache: Windows: ipconfig (e.g. with /displaydns and /flushdns options) Linux: name service cache daemon (nscd) 31188O
Connection: & Keep-Alive: Give control of HTTP/1.1 persistence • “Connection: Close”: Indicates desire not to persist (without closing TCP connection, which might disrupt flow?) • “Connection: keep-alive”: Desire to control persistence, e.g. with “Keep-Alive: 300” Persist for 300 sec, despite server default (15 sec for Apache)
Extension material follows • DNS for firewalling • DNS and search • Analytics • Cookies
The Great fireWall of China Uses several mechanisms to filter access 1 is DNS poisoning: Firewall responds to DNS requests with incorrect information e.g. lookup facebook.com from within China -> 78.16.49.15 which RIPE reports belongs to Esat Telecommunications in Ireland Reports of banned names appearing with other domain as suffix (e.g. “facebook.com.example.com”) also return incorrect results rather than DNE error. Presumably to hinder proxies. 3118ZO
DNS and search “The point of I'm Feeling Lucky was to replace the domain name system for navigation” Page said in 2002. Both Page and Brin hoped that instead of guessing what was the address of their web destination, they'd just “go to Google.” - S. Levy: In the plex: how Google thinks, works, and shapes our lives, Simon & Schuster, 2011, p. 31 311815
Referer:† & analytics Would like to track client’s path through web: • How did they reach this web site? • What path do they take through this site?=> Optimise site design site (e.g. minimise steps to purchase, direct clients on desired path) • Which pages have stale links to objects that are Not Found? Referer: = URI of page that links to object being requested Referer: line omitted if object not requested via link, e.g. URL entered in browser address bar Web site analytics businesses/software interprets referral paths • May involve embedding links in pages • e.g. Google Analytics † The HTTP spec includes a typo (“Referer” not “Referrer”) which implementations must now perpetuate

State info for web access • User identity • “shopping basket” of selected goods • Site personalisation, values for form fields etc • registration – have they paid for the service, do we know their email address, etc • tracking, e.g. newspaper: what advertisements do people who read this sort of article read? → tune advertising for higher impact can raise privacy concerns • Load sharing – direct request to preferred server in server farm
Cookies† Process: • Client requests information from server • Server responds, including state information • Client stores state information, associates it with server • Client includes state information with subsequent requests to server Bottom line: Server doesn’t have to store state info. † So named because like an edible cookie that leaves a trail of crumbs, electronic cookies record a trail of past actions, i.e. record state info. aka “handle”, “transaction ID”, or “token”
