Methods Table


When an Agent asks a Web server for a particular page, there are a few 'methods' that can be used to access that page. If the page has not been previously accessed by the Agent, a 'get' method is issued to request the entire contents of the page. A 'conditional get' asks 'has this page changed since the last time it was accessed?' If the answer is 'no', the page does not need to be sent again, since the Agent already has a copy of that page in its cache.

The Methods Table consists of the following columns:



Columns
methodID

method
firstHitTimestamp
