General info :

• A user agent, commonly a web browser or web crawler, initiates communication by requesting a specific resource and the server responds with the content of that resource or an error message if unable to do so.
• WEBPAGES delivered are most frequently HTML documents, which may include images, style sheets, and scripts in addition to the text content.
• This communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
• HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, where hypertext documents include hyperlinks to other resources that the user can easily access.
• The primary function of a web server is to store, process, and deliver web pages to clients.
