 WHAT IS WORLD WIDE WEB?

• World Wide Web, which is also known as a Web, is a collection of websites or web
pages stored in web servers and connected to local computers through the internet.

• These websites contain text pages, digital images, audios, videos, etc. Users can
access the content of these sites from any part of the world over the internet using
their devices such as computers, laptops, cell phones, etc.

• The WWW, along with internet, enables the retrieval and display of text and media
to your device.
 BUILDING
BLOCKS
• The building blocks of the Web are web pages which are formatted in HTML and connected
by links called "hypertext" or hyperlinks and accessed by HTTP.

• These links are electronic connections that link related pieces of information so that users
can access the desired information quickly.

• Hypertext offers the advantage to select a word or phrase from text and thus to access other
pages that provide additional information related to that word or phrase.
WORKING
WWW VS INTERNET
 WWW VS INTERNET
• Internet is entirely different from WWW.

• It is a worldwide network of devices like computers, laptops, tablets, etc. It enables users to
send emails to other users and chat with them online.

• For example, when you send an email or chatting with someone online, you are using the
internet.
 COMPONENTS

•Uniform Resource Locator (URL): serves as system for resources on

web.

•HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP): specifies communication of

•.  browser and server. 

•Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML): defines structure,

organisation and content of webpage
 HTTP
• The protocols that are used to transfer hypertext between two computers is known as
HyperText Transfer Protocol. 

• HTTP provides standard between a web browser and web server to establish communication.
It is set of rules for transferring data from one computer to another. Data such as text, images,
and other multimedia files are shared on the World Wide Web.

• Whenever a web user opens their web browser, user indirectly uses HTTP. It is an application
protocol which is used for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. 
 HTTP
• Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application layer protocol which enables WWW to
work smoothly and effectively.

• It is based on a client-server model. The client is a web browser which communicates with the
web server which hosts the website.

• This protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted and what actions the Web
Server and browser should take in response to different commands.

• When you enter a URL in the browser, an HTTP command is sent to the Web server, and it
transmits the requested Web Page.
 HTTP

• When we open a website using a browser, a connection to the web server is

opened, and the browser communicates with the server through HTTP and
sends a request.

• HTTP is carried over TCP/IP to communicate with the server. The server
processes the browser's request and sends a response, and then the connection
is closed.

• Thus, the browser retrieves content from the server for the user.
 HOW HTTP WORKS?
• First of all, whenever we want to open any website then first we open web browser after that
we will type URL of that website (e.g., www.facebook.com ).

• This URL is now sent to Domain Name Server (DNS). Then DNS first check records for this
URL in their database, then DNS will return IP address to web browser corresponding to this
URL. Now browser is able to sent request to actual server. 

• After server sends data to client, connection will be closed. If we want something else from
server we should have to re-establish connection between client and server. 
 HTTP STATUS CODES INCLUDE:

1.200 - successful request (the webpage exists)

2.301 - moved permanently (often forwarded to a new URL)
3.401 - unauthorized request (authorization required)
4.403 - forbidden (access is not allowed to the page or directory)
5.500 - internal server error (often caused by an incorrect server
configuration)
