How it starts –

Well whenever you enter any URL into Google chrome, the respective page pops up on the screen without taking so much of time. I must say that technology has made things quite easier and saves a lot of time. But the real question is what made it happen? Well the answer is Google chrome constructed a connection to a Web server and then requested a page and to the second moment your request pops on your page.

Well in the first paragraph we gave you the details regarding how server works? But here we will tell you its mechanisms extensively. Well behind the scenes what happened is as same as the steps given below.

  • The browser broke the URL into three parts.
  • The protocol (“http”)
  • The server name (“www.howstuffworks.com”)
  • The file name (“web-server.htm”)
  • The browser came in contact with a name server to translate the server name “www.howitworks.com” into a unique IP Address, which helps it to connect with the server machine.
  • After it the Google Chrome made a connection to the server at that IP address on port 80.
  • The browser sent a GET request to the server, asking for the file “http://www.howitworks.com/web-server.htm.” after following the HTTP Protocol.
  • After that the server then sent the HTML text for the Web page to the Chrome.
  • Chrome read the HTML tags and makes it possible to pop up that respective page on the screen.
