    Study Notes

    Communication Medium

    • Clients and servers are primarily applications (software) rather than hardware and can reside on the same computer.
    • Communication mediums can include local networks, the internet, or any designated communication channel.

    HTTP - Request and Response

    • A URL example: https://www.ccdisorsogon.edu.ph serves as the address to access a web resource.
    • The default port for HTTP traffic is 80 but is often omitted in URLs.
    • The protocol "https" ensures secure communication between the client and server.

    Domain Structure

    • Domains consist of multiple levels:
      • “www” is the third-level domain or host.
      • “ccdisorsogon” is the second-level domain.
      • “edu.ph” is the top-level domain.
    • An example URL: https://ccdisorsogon.edu.ph/index.html is converted to an IP address (e.g., 168.28.176.243) by DNS or local cache.

    HTTP Transaction Process

    • Step 1: Entering a URL initiates the process in a browser.
    • Step 2: The browser resolves the domain to an IP address.
    • Step 3: An HTTP request is sent to the server to access resources (e.g., web pages).
    • Step 4: The server processes the request and retrieves the requested file.
    • Step 5: The server sends back a response to the browser, which then renders the content for the user.

    Types of Web Content

    • Simple/Static Content:

      • Consists mainly of HTML documents.
      • Relies on client-side technologies like HTML and CSS.
      • Characteristics include simplicity, small size, and fast loading times.
    • Dynamic Content:

      • Involves more advanced processing with greater interactivity.
      • Utilizes technologies such as JavaScript on the client side and server-side technologies like PHP and Java.
      • Content can include a mix of HTML, scripts, programming code, and executable programs, allowing for functionality and versatility.
