Distributed File System | prof. Giovanni Chiola | ![]() |
Client sends GET request to one server, specifying client address. | ||
If the server stores requested data locally, it answers: 200 OK HTTP/1.1 with the actual data. |
||
Otherwise, the server forwards to one or more other servers
and answers: 202 Request Accepted HTTP/1.1 |
||
If a server receives a forwarded request containg its own tag it discards the request (to avoid loops). | ||
If a server receives a forwarded request and has the requested data, it sends the requested data directly to the client. | ||
