4. How Browser Work?
 The browser main functionality is to present the web resource you choose,
by requesting it from the server and displaying it on the browser window.
 The resource is usually an HTML document, but may also be a PDF, image,
or other type.
 The location of the resource is specified by the user using a URI (Uniform
resource Identifier).
 As You Write URL and hit GO button browser program sends a request
(Could I have the web page please?) to a web server program running on
the remote computer.
 The server program, gathers the request from the web browser, tries to hunt
for the web page and then formulates a response.

5. How Browser Work? Contd.
 If server was able to locate the web page, it sends the HTML file to the web
browser.
 The browser picks up all the information coming in from the server and does
its best to display the web page.
 A typical web page not only has text but also images and these are separate
files that need to be transferred from the server to the browser.
 The browser-server communication goes on till all the files have been
transferred to the browser.
 After that Browser-server connection is disconnected and Web Page is
Displayed on the browser window.
