Basic web serving is fairly straight forward. When you click a hyperlink
or the ENTER key after keying in an URL (universal resource
locator).
This is the sequence of events that happen:
- The requesting computer, called the ``client'', sends request
to the destination computer, called the ``server''.
- The server computer receives the request, looks for the requested
file, and replies back to the client.
- The client receives the document, displays it on the screen,
and the transaction is complete.
Simple, eh?
