| Stateless, in terms of HTTP | There is no link between two requests sent between the client and the server |
| Cookies | A string of data passed between the client and the server to create a state-full connection. |
| Session | Clients/Servers pass info on their current state back and forth to each other, creating a session. |
| Nameservers | Direct to the domain name to the IP address |

| URL: URN | - Universal Resource Name - Provides the location of the resource |
| URL: Host | - aka Domain |

| URL - URL Query | - One or more queries that can perform further actions on the server (optional) - Start with a '?', then each is comprised of an argument and a value. - If +1, '&' strings them together ex: ?u=1234 ex2: ?a=111&b=222 |
| URL: URL Query - Location | - After the resource path site.com/about/me.htm?u=456&b=222 |
| HTTP Method: GET | - Get the specified resource, if available - Only needs the method and the URL to work (though an authorization header is possible) |
| HTTP Method: POST | - Create a new resource and add it to a collection in the server - Typically needs an authorization header |
| HTTP Methods: PUT | - Update an existing resource (in the server) - Typically needs authorization header |
| HTTP Methods: PUT - If no resource | If the resource that PUT is trying to change does not exist, the server may allow that resource to be created, or may send an error message. Depends on the server. |
| HTTP Methods: PATCH | - Modify an existing resource - Unlike PUT, which replaces content, PATCH can modify content without necessarily replacing it - Typically requires auth |
| HTTP Methods: DELETE | - Deletes a resource |
| HTTP Methods: DELETE - Server action | Depending on how the server is configured, a delete request may... : - Delete a database entry - Change the status of a database entry without actually removing content |
| HTTP Methods: HEAD | - Returns just the head section of the response |
