Curio Collection of Web Protocols
summary
Walkthrough of concrete demos and takeaways not marketing: implemented quote‑of‑the‑day with netcat and piped it through ponysay showing a runnable RFC 865 example; sent SMTP mail over telnet and it arrives (often in spam) demonstrating stateful SMTP commands; live DNS queries reveal it's a binary, caching‑heavy system spanning 50+ RFCs; FTP demo shows separate control/data connections and active/passive quirks via netcat; NTP’s complexity surprises — the spec runs about 104 pages and handles clusters, leap seconds and GPS references.
