Internet and Web Questions
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Web browsers are responsible for rendering text using fonts available on the local system, and different computers have different font collections. When a specified font isn't available, browsers substitute with similar fonts from their pool. This is why web design specifies font families rather than single fonts, ensuring graceful degradation.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Web pages can be tested and previewed locally by opening HTML files directly in a browser, without requiring an active internet connection. As long as all referenced resources (images, CSS, JavaScript) are also stored locally or cached, the page renders normally. This is standard practice during web development for rapid iteration.

An insecure J2EE web application
-
None of the above

-
Windows Resource
-
Network Delay Time
-
Time to First Buffer Breakdown
-
Page Download Time Breakdown
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Page Download Time Breakdown graph breaks down web page download times into component phases including DNS resolution, connection time, SSL handshake, and server/response time. Time to First Buffer Breakdown shows server vs network time but doesn't focus on connection establishment details. Windows Resource monitors system health, and Network Delay Time shows network latency without the detailed breakdown.
-
Redirect Automatically
-
Redirect on Instructions
-
Follow Redirects
-
Use Keep alive
-
Follow on Instructions
A,C,D
Correct answer
Explanation
JMeter's HTTP Sampler provides three main options for request handling: 'Redirect Automatically' follows redirects without updating the URL, 'Follow Redirects' updates the URL after redirect, and 'Use KeepAlive' maintains persistent connections. Options B and E ('Redirect on Instructions', 'Follow on Instructions') are invalid/garbled options not found in JMeter.
-
Provide access to the information
-
Plots the response times on a graph
-
Shows details of sampler requests and responses
-
Allows to insert Logic to the request
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Listeners DO provide access to test information (A true), DO plot response times on graphs (B true), and DO show sampler request/response details (C true). Option D is FALSE because Listeners only view and record results - they don't insert logic. Logic Controllers and Pre/Post-processors handle logic insertion.
-
Session
-
Application
-
Response.Cookies
-
Response.ViewState
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Application state stores data that is accessible to all users across the entire application - it's global to the application. Session state is user-specific and isolated per user session. Cookies are stored on the client-side browser. ViewState is page-specific for maintaining state across postbacks within a single page. For data that must be accessible to ANY user regardless of who they are, Application state is the correct choice.
-
Apache
-
Apache Tomcat
-
Microsoft IIS
-
Glassfish
A,C
Correct answer
Explanation
Apache and Microsoft IIS are web servers natively capable of hosting PHP applications via modules or FastCGI. Apache Tomcat and Glassfish are Java application servers/servlet containers designed for Java applications rather than standard PHP hosting.
-
Web Proxy
-
XSS Scanner
-
An insecure J2EE web application
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
OWASP WebGoat is a deliberately insecure J2EE web application created as a learning platform for developers and security professionals to practice identifying and exploiting common web application vulnerabilities. It includes lessons on SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypass, and other OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. It is not a scanning tool or proxy.

-
Personal Home Page
-
Personal Hypertext Processor
-
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
-
Private Home Page
C
Correct answer
Explanation
PHP originally stood for 'Personal Home Page' when created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994. As the language evolved into a general-purpose scripting language, the meaning was changed to a recursive acronym 'PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor' to reflect its focus on server-side web development and distinguish it from its original purpose. This recursive naming convention (like GNU = GNU's Not Unix) is common in open source projects.

-
W3C
-
W3Schools
-
WYSIWYG
-
WHATWG
A,D
Correct answer
Explanation
The development of HTML5 was initiated by the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) in 2004. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) later joined the effort to adopt and co-develop it. W3Schools and WYSIWYG editors are unrelated to its creation, making WHATWG and W3C correct.
