HTTP Endpoint

An HTTP endpoint is a point of entry into a service, allowing users to interact with applications over the internet. It is typically defined by a URL, defining the location and addressable resource on a server. HTTP endpoints enable HTTP requests by supporting various methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. For more detailed information, please refer to the official documentation.

Supported Methods​

  • GET: A HTTP endpoint to run a HEAD request against
  • LIST
  • SEARCH

ip​

An HTTP endpoint is often associated with one or more IP addresses, which serve as the network location for the endpoint. This relationship is crucial because IP addresses facilitate the routing of requests to the correct server, allowing users to access the endpoint.

dns​

HTTP endpoints are frequently linked with DNS (Domain Name System) records. DNS translates domain names to IP addresses, enabling users to access the endpoint via a user-friendly URL rather than a numerical IP address. This relationship is essential for web accessibility and ease of use.

certificate​

HTTP endpoints commonly utilise digital certificates to secure communication between the client and server. These certificates authenticate the identity of the server and enable encrypted transmission through protocols like HTTPS, ensuring data integrity and privacy.

http​

This is a recursive reference as the current item itself is an HTTP endpoint. It represents the basic structural components of HTTP protocol communication, facilitating interactions over the web by specifying how data is formatted and transmitted.
