This allows them to write their logic against a high-level API that hides the details of the specific protocol being used over the network.</p><p>The most common protocol format is HTTP/1.1, a text-based protocol with lines separated by <code class="literal">\r\n</code>:</p><div class="screenexample"><pre class="screen">GET /index.html HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: domain.com\r\n
...
\r\n</pre></div><p>However, the same request can be made using FastCGI, a binary protocol:</p><div class="screenexample"><pre class="screen">x01 x01 x00 x01 x00 x08 x00 x00
x00 x01 x01 x00 x00 x00 x00 x00
x01 x04 x00 x01 xLL xLL x00 x00
x0C x0B  D   O   C   U   M   E
 N   T   _   U   R   I   /   i
 n   d   e   x   .   h   t   m

...</pre></div><p>Similarly, HTTP/2 is a binary protocol that transports the same information in a yet different format.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="_http_1_1_transport"></a>HTTP/1.1 Transport</h3></div></div></div><p>HTTP/1.1 is the default transport.</p><pre xmlns:jfetch="java:org.eclipse.jetty.xslt.tools.JavaSourceFetchExtension" xmlns:fetch="java:org.eclipse.jetty.xslt.tools.SourceFetchExtension" xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0" xmlns:xslthl="http://xslthl.sf.net" xmlns:gcse="http://www.google.com" xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times"><code>// No transport specified, using default.
