A simple GET request:

  • Framing Indicator = 0 (known-length request)
  • Method = "GET"
  • Scheme = "https"
  • Authority = "www.example.com"
  • Path = "/hello.txt"
  • Header section with "host" field
  • Empty content (length = 0)
  • Empty trailer section (length = 0)

A simple 200 OK response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello World!

Would be encoded with:

  • Framing Indicator = 1 (known-length response)
  • Status Code = 200
  • Header section with "content-type" and "content-length" fields
  • Content = "Hello World!" (12 bytes)
