HTTP Connection Example Explained

The document describes the steps involved when a user enters a URL in their browser to make an HTTP request. 1) The HTTP client initiates a TCP connection to the HTTP server at the requested host and default port 80. 2) The client sends an HTTP request message containing the URL through the open TCP connection socket. 3) The server receives the request, retrieves the requested object, and sends an HTTP response message with the object back through the socket.
