The web consists of gazillions of
clients (using browsers like Mozilla or
Safari) and servers (using web server
apps like Apache) connected through
wires and wireless networks. Our goal is
to build a web application that clients
around the globe can access. And to
become obscenely rich.

Port
:
This part of the URL is
optional. A single server supports
many ports. A server application is
identiÞed by a port. If you donÕt
specify a port in your URL, then
port 80 is the default, and as luck
would have it, thatÕs the default
port for web servers.
Server
: The unique name of
the physical server youÕre looking
for. This name maps to a unique
IP address. IP addresses are
numeric and take the form Òxxx.
yyy.zzz.aaaÓ. You can specify an
IP address here instead of a server
name, but a server name is a lot
easier to remember.
Path
: The path to the location,
on the server, of the resource
being requested. Because most of
the early servers on the web ran
Unix, Unix syntax is still used to
describe the directory hierarchies
on the web server.
Protocol:
Tells the

server which communications
protocol (in this case
HTTP) will be used.
Resource:
The name of the
content being requested. This
could be an HTML page, a
servlet, an image, PDF, music,
video, or anything else the
server feels like serving. If this
optional part of the URL is
left out, most web servers will
look for index.html by default.
DQDWRP\RID85/
Optional Query String
:
Remember, if this was a
GET request, the extra info
(parameters) would be appended
to the end of this URL, starting
with a question mark Ò?Ó, and with
each parameter (name/value pair)
separated by an ampersand Ò

Ó.

Using one server app per port, a server
can have up to 65536 different server
apps running (although itÕs possible to run
more than one app on the same port if
the apps use different protocols).
