HTTP/1.1 means ?I too speak HTTP version 1.1?. The important bit, once more, is the bit on the same line with this that says 200 OK. This is an HTTP response, and in this case it means ?I understood your request and managed to fulfill it.? Users usually don't see responses, but there is one noteable exception: If you've been browsing the Web for some time, you might have come across a page that reads ?HTTP 404 Not Found? and then goes on to explain that the document you requested could not be found on the server; 404 is the HTTP response code that means exactly what it says, that the requested document was not found, just like 200 is the HTTP response code that says that everything went fine. There are a whole bunch of different responses defined in HTTP, but 200 is by far the most common and useful one.
