What is www Browser Web Server
www browser:
A web browser is a
program used to view files on the Internet, including images, text sound and
video. With the help of graphical browser, multimedia such as images and videos
can also be viewed on the Internet. "Mosaic" is the first graphical
web browser developed in 1993 by the National Center for Super Computing
Applications, University of Illinois. Mac Andreessen and six of his fellow
students worked on a university sponsored computer project to create a program
to create Mosaic browsers. This program contributed to making the World Wide
Web a keynote to Internet tools. Mosaic changed the text only www to a
Microsoft Windows-like environment. With the introduction of Mosaic, the data
transported by the Web grew at a rate of 10,000 in six months.
Web Server:
A web server is a
computer that preserves the web page or application located on the server,
representing the computer and server hardware parts, while the application is a
software part. The server transmits graphics, sound and video to the web
browser. The web server is also called an HTTP server, as it uses hypertext,
transfer protocol (HTTP) to send web pages to the web browser.
The connection between a
web browser and a web server is called stateless. When you send a request for a
web page to a web server with the help of a browser, the server checks the
validity of the request made for the HTML document. The server then sends the
web page to your web browser and the connection is closed. The web browser
connects to the web server only when the web page is requested to be reloaded
and refreshed. You can provide web server facility by paying some fee. Those
are also called commercial web servers. Free web servers can also be used,
which are called freeware. Microsoft Internet Information Server (ITS) and
Netscape Web Server are some of the well-known commercial web servers. Apache
is a famous freeware.
