Abstract
Techniques and technologies for protocols for accessing hosts are described. In at least some embodiments, a system includes a processing component, and a host protocol component. The host protocol component is configured to receive at a host a request from a client device, the request including a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) string locating a container or an ecosystem stored by the host; determine using at least a portion of the URL string whether the request is a container-related request or an ecosystem-related request; generate a response at the host including information responsive to the request, the information including the URL string locating the container or the ecosystem, and at least one response parameter corresponding to the request and associated with the container or the ecosystem; and transmit the response from the host to the client device.
