[JSP] Request Object ( Client Request )

사용자가 웹브라우저에서 웹페이지를 요청하면 웹브라우저는 웹서버로 많은 정보를 전달하게 되는데 이 정보들은 모두 HTTP request 의 헤더 내에 포함되어 전달된다. HTTP Protocol 에 대한 내용은 링크를 참조하기 바란다.

 

아래 내용은 브라우저에서 웹서버쪽으로 보내는 정보 중에 중요한 헤더 정보를 간추린 것입니다.

 

Header	Description
Accept	This header specifies the MIME types that the browser or other clients can handle. Values of image/png or image/jpeg are the two most common possibilities.
Accept-Charset	This header specifies the character sets the browser can use to display the information. For example ISO-8859-1.
Accept-Encoding	This header specifies the types of encodings that the browser knows how to handle. Values of gzip or compress are the two most common possibilities.
Accept-Language	This header specifies the client's preferred languages in case the servlet can produce results in more than one language. For example en, en-us, ru, etc.
Authorization	This header is used by clients to identify themselves when accessing password-protected Web pages.
Connection	This header indicates whether the client can handle persistent HTTP connections. Persistent connections permit the client or other browser to retrieve multiple files with a single request. A value of Keep-Alive means that persistent connections should be used
Content-Length	This header is applicable only to POST requests and gives the size of the POST data in bytes.
Cookie	This header returns cookies to servers that previously sent them to the browser.
Host	This header specifies the host and port as given in the original URL.
If-Modified-Since	This header indicates that the client wants the page only if it has been changed after the specified date. The server sends a code, 304 which means Not Modified header if no newer result is available.
If-Unmodified-Since	This header is the reverse of If-Modified-Since; it specifies that the operation should succeed only if the document is older than the specified date.
Referer	This header indicates the URL of the referring Web page. For example, if you are at Web page 1 and click on a link to Web page 2, the URL of Web page 1 is included in the Referer header when the browser requests Web page 2.
User-Agent	This header identifies the browser or other client making the request and can be used to return different content to different types of browsers.

HTTP Header Request 예제

아래는 HttpServletRequest의 getHeaderNames()메소드 예제입니다. 이 메소드는 현재 요청에 대한 HTTP header 정보를 읽어와서 Enumeration을 반환합니다. Enumeration을 얻어오면 우리는 hasMoreElements() 메소드를 이용해서 루프를 돌면서 nextElement() 메소드를 이용해서 헤더명을 가져올 수 있습니다. 아래 예제는 그렇게 얻어온 헤더명을 이용해서 해당 헤더명에 대한 실제 값까지 얻어와서 화면에 출력하는 기능을 하는 페이지입니다. 

<%@ page import="java.io.*,java.util.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTTP Header Request Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h2>HTTP Header Request Example</h2>
<table width="100%" border="1" align="center">
<tr bgcolor="#949494">
<th>Header Name</th><th>Header Value(s)</th>
</tr>
<%
   Enumeration headerNames = request.getHeaderNames();
   while(headerNames.hasMoreElements()) {
      String paramName = (String)headerNames.nextElement();
      out.print("<tr><td>" + paramName + "</td>\n");
      String paramValue = request.getHeader(paramName);
      out.println("<td> " + paramValue + "</td></tr>\n");
   }
%>
</table>
</center>
</body>
</html>

위 소스코드를 main.jsp 파일에 넣고 웹브라우저에서 요청해보세요. 아래와 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있을것입니다.
