The Finger protocol, RFC 1288.
|
|
|
|
"Finger is based on the Transmission Control Protocol, using TCP port
|
|
79 decimal (117 octal). The local host opens a TCP connection to a
|
|
remote host on the Finger port. An RUIP becomes available on the
|
|
remote end of the connection to process the request. The local host
|
|
sends the RUIP a one line query based upon the Finger query
|
|
specification, and waits for the RUIP to respond. The RUIP receives
|
|
and processes the query, returns an answer, then initiates the close
|
|
of the connection. The local host receives the answer and the close
|
|
signal, then proceeds closing its end of the connection."
