– An internet browser is a software application that allows users to access and interact with content on the World Wide Web.
– When a user opens a browser and enters a URL or clicks on a link, they are providing input to the browser.
– The browser parses the URL to extract information such as the protocol, domain name, and specific resource path.
– The browser sends a DNS request to translate the domain name into an IP address, necessary for communication with the server.
– The browser establishes a connection with the web server hosting the requested resource, usually using HTTP or HTTPS protocols, and sends an HTTP request.
