What is the significance of the Last-Modified header in HTTP servlet responses?

  • It controls the cache behavior for the servlet response.
  • It indicates the last modification time of the servlet.
  • It signals the client to request the servlet again.
  • It specifies the expiration time of the servlet.
The Last-Modified header informs the client about the last modification time of the servlet, allowing the client to cache the response and avoid unnecessary requests if the content hasn't changed.

If a client application needs to request a large amount of data without affecting the server's state, which method should it use and why?

  • DELETE, because it is a safe method for retrieving data.
  • GET, because it is idempotent and does not modify the server's state.
  • POST, because it supports larger data payloads than GET.
  • PUT, because it is specifically designed for requesting large data sets.
The GET method is idempotent and does not modify the server's state, making it suitable for requesting large amounts of data without side effects. POST, although supporting larger payloads, is not intended for safe, idempotent operations.
