Alexander-
    I don't think your question involves Cocoa, as it does how to talk
http.  I've found the best place to look for information on things like
http, ftp, smtp, etc is through RFC's.
Check out http://rfc.sunsite.dk & look at numbers 2616 and 2617.  This
should get you started in the right direction.
