301b Exam - Question 80


An HTTP 1.1 application utilizes chunking.

Which header should be used to notify the client's browser that there are additional HTTP headers at the end of the message?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

The 'Trailer' header is used in HTTP/1.1 applications to indicate that there are additional headers at the end of a chunked message. This allows the sender to include fields that are dynamically generated while the message body is being sent, such as message integrity checks or digital signatures. The trailer fields are similar to header fields but are sent in a chunked trailer instead of the initial header section.

A trailer allows the sender to include additional fields at the end of a chunked message in order to supply metadata that might be dynamically generated while the message body is sent, such as a message integrity check, digital signature, or post-processing status. The trailer fields are identical to header fields, except they are sent in a chunked trailer instead of the message's header section
