HTTP Push and Pull

Get an overview of the HTTP Push and Pull methods, along with their examples.

HTTP Push and Pull are two different methods of communication between a client and server in web software architecture.

Pull

HTTP Pull, also known as the traditional request-response model, is the most common way for clients and servers to communicate with each other. This method involves a client sending a request to a server, and then the server responds with the requested information. It’s a simple yet effective way to retrieve data, and is widely used in web applications.

The client initiates the request by sending a message to the server, asking for some information. This could be a web page, a file, or anything else that the client needs. The server then processes the request and sends back a response with the requested information.
