The get method gives the HTML source of the document requested.It seems just
as if you are seeing the source by clicking View> Source.

Similiarly you can see what happens when you issue the 'PUT' and 'Head' 
methods.Just replace 'Get' with the Method that you want to use.For 

Example,

head / http/1.1 and put/ http/1.1

****************

Hacking Truth: Let's go back to the response that we got from the HTTP daemon
once the HTTP Get method was okayed at Yahoo.The first line of the response
was:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK

Now what does this 200 signify? Well the '200' is called the status 
code.Whenever you give the server a HTTP command, it processes the command and
accrodingly displays a status code.A status code is a 3 digit code in the form
of xxx. Status codes start from 1xx to 5xx.I am not sure what the 1xx series
signifies as they are rarely used.The 2xx series signify a succssful
completion of the HTTP command given.The 3xx series signify errors due to
moving of documents.The 4xx series signify errors caused at browser side and
finally the 5xx series signify errors at the server side.

The most common status code that you come across, but may not have ever see is
the 200 OK status code.Each time you are able to see a page on the browser
successfully, the browser has been sent this status code by the HTTP daemon.

The most common errors that you might come across and actually see would be
the 404 Error---Not Found. This error emssage means that the Url that you
tying to access is not found, it has either been moved or has been deleted or
the linking of the web pages itself has not been done properly.I can go to the
up directory to look for the exact new changed URL.
