Edit - Stack Overflow

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Not a web programmer, but I think most HTTP servers need to retain some information after serving a request: logging, new content (like on this site), items left in stock, etc.
