    Which of the following statements are true?

    • HTTP runs over TCP

    •  HTTP allows information to be stored in a URL

    • HTTP can be used to test the validity of a hypertext link

    • All

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. All
    Explanation
    All of the given statements are true. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) runs over TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), which provides reliable communication between the client and the server. HTTP allows information to be stored in a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) through query parameters or path segments. Additionally, HTTP can be used to test the validity of a hypertext link by sending a request to the link and checking the response status code.

    DNS is an Internet service that translates domain names to or from:

    • MAC address

    • IP address

    • Both

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. IP address
    Explanation
    DNS (Domain Name System) is an Internet service that translates domain names to IP addresses. When a user enters a domain name in their web browser, the DNS server is responsible for converting that domain name into the corresponding IP address of the server hosting the website. This IP address is then used to establish a connection and retrieve the requested web page. Therefore, the correct answer is IP address.

  • 4. 

    URL stands for?

    • Unique reference label

    • Uniform reference label

    • Uniform resource locator

    • Unique resource locator

    Correct Answer
    A. Uniform resource locator
    Explanation
    A URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is a standardized way to address and locate resources on the internet. It consists of various components such as the protocol (http, https, ftp), the domain name (www.example.com), and the specific path to the resource. The term "uniform" implies that the format and structure of the URL are consistent and universally recognized. The term "resource" refers to any digital content, such as web pages, images, or files, that can be accessed through the internet. Therefore, the correct answer is uniform resource locator.

    Dynamic web page:

    • Is same every time whenever it displays

    • Generates on demand by a program or a request from browser

    • Both

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Generates on demand by a program or a request from browser
    Explanation
    A dynamic web page is a web page that is generated on demand by a program or a request from a browser. Unlike static web pages, which remain the same every time they are displayed, dynamic web pages can change and adapt based on various factors such as user input, database queries, or real-time data. This allows for more interactive and personalized web experiences.

  • 6. 

    A __________ is the simplest form of a website, in which the site’s content is delivered without the use of server-side processing.

    • E-Commerce Website

    • Dynamic Websites

    • Social Networking Websites

    • Static website

    Correct Answer
    A. Static website
    Explanation
    A static website is the simplest form of a website where the content is delivered without the use of server-side processing. This means that the web pages are pre-designed and do not change based on user interactions or inputs. Static websites are mainly used to provide information or showcase products/services without any complex functionality. Unlike dynamic websites that use server-side processing to generate content on the fly, static websites are easier to develop and maintain as they do not require any server-side scripting or database integration.

    • A program that can display a web page

    • A program used to view html documents

    • Both

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Both
    Explanation
    A web browser is a program that can display a web page and is also used to view HTML documents. It is capable of interpreting and rendering HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code to visually present web pages to users. Therefore, the correct answer is "Both" because a web browser can perform both functions.

    Computer which stores the different web pages is called as:

    • Service Provider

    • Web Browser

    • Web Crawler

    • Web Server

    Correct Answer
    A. Web Server
    Explanation
    A computer that stores different web pages is called a web server. A web server is responsible for hosting websites and delivering web pages to users when they request them. It receives requests from web browsers, retrieves the requested web pages from its storage, and sends them back to the user's browser for display. This is how websites are made accessible to users over the internet.

    Which protocol is used for secure communication over the internet?

    • IP

    • UDP

    • HTTP

    • HTTPS

    Correct Answer
    A. HTTPS
    Explanation
    HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the correct answer because it is a protocol that provides secure communication over the internet. It combines the HTTP protocol with SSL/TLS encryption to ensure that data transmitted between a web server and a browser remains secure and cannot be easily intercepted or tampered with by unauthorized individuals. This is particularly important for sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details, and personal data.

    The ______ method requests data from a specified source.

    • GET

    • POST

    • Both

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. GET
    Explanation
    The GET method is used to request data from a specified source. It is commonly used to retrieve information from a server or a website. Unlike the POST method which is used to send data to the server, the GET method is used for retrieving data. This can include retrieving web pages, images, documents, or any other type of data that is available on the specified source.

    Correct Answer
    A. Request line
    Explanation
    The values GET, POST, HEAD, etc are specified in the request line of an HTTP message. The request line contains the method (GET, POST, etc) that the client wants to use for the request. This line is the first line of the request and it specifies the type of request being made to the server.

    Common gateway interface is used to?

    • Generate web pages

    • Generate executable files from web content by web server

    • Stream videos

    • All

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Generate executable files from web content by web server
    Explanation
    The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard protocol that allows web servers to interact with executable files on a web server. This means that CGI is used to generate executable files from web content by the web server. CGI scripts can be written in various programming languages such as Perl, Python, or C++, and they are used to process user input, generate dynamic web content, and perform other server-side tasks.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which of the following statements are true?

    • HTTP runs over TCP

    • HTTP allows information to be stored in a URL

    • Both

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Both
    Explanation
    Both statements are true. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) runs over TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), which is a reliable transport protocol. This means that HTTP uses TCP to establish a connection, ensure data integrity, and provide reliable delivery of information. Additionally, HTTP allows information to be stored in a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). This is commonly seen in query strings, where data is appended to the end of a URL to pass parameters or additional information to a web server.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which of these is a client-server application?

    • Web browsing

    • E-MAIL

    • Both

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Both
    Explanation
    Both web browsing and email are examples of client-server applications. In web browsing, the user's web browser acts as the client, sending requests to web servers and receiving responses. In email, the user's email client (such as Outlook or Gmail) acts as the client, connecting to an email server to send and receive messages. In both cases, there is a client (user's device) that interacts with a server (web server or email server) to access and exchange data.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sent from a website and stored in user’s web browser while a user is browsing a website
    Explanation
    A web cookie is a small piece of data that is sent from a website and stored in the user's web browser while the user is browsing the website. This allows the website to remember information about the user, such as their preferences or login information, and provide a personalized browsing experience.

    •  Mozilla

    • Microsoft

    • The World Wide Web Consortium

    • ALL

    • NONE

    Correct Answer

    Assume that an HTML form is designed to purchase the furniture. All the items required are being checked. After selecting the items the payment details are entered and the submit button is pressed. From the following options which one would you prefer to send the data to the server. Assume that all the security is handled.

    • Only POST

    • Only GET

    • Either of GET or POST

    • Neither GET nor POST

    Correct Answer
    A. Either of GET or POST
    Explanation
    When designing an HTML form to purchase furniture, it is preferable to send the data to the server using either the GET or POST method. Both methods can be used to send data securely, and the choice between them depends on the specific requirements of the form. The GET method appends the form data to the URL, making it visible in the browser's address bar and potentially bookmarkable. On the other hand, the POST method sends the form data in the body of the HTTP request, making it more secure and suitable for sensitive information like payment details. Therefore, either of GET or POST can be used based on the specific needs of the form.
