Web History- In 1990 Tim Berners Lee created the first web server web browser and web pages on his computers. Tim Berners Lee proposed the web architecture that became known as the WORLD-WIDE WEB.
The Web has serval components there are three main components:- HTTP protocol that transfers data between Servers and the clients/ users(we). URL known as Unique Resource Locater used by clients/users to access web components. HTML Is a common format for publishing
A web server is a hardware and software computer system that processes and responds to the requests of the users/clients.
The hardware Server part contains the web server software and websites and web pages. Websites have components that are HTML text format, CSS stylesheet, and Javascript files.
The software server contains many parts that control how a web server can access the files. these servers are HTTP servers. An HTTP server is software that understands the URL and Links of the websites. HTTP server can access through the links and domain names of the WEBsites and the server delivers the contents of these hosted websites to the users.
Examples: when users search a web page on the browser online. When users search for something in the web browser, the network sends an HTTP request to the HTTP server, and then the HTTP server starts searching and processing that web page of the user's HTTP request. When the HTTP server completes the process on the user's HTTP request then the server sends back an HTTP response about the web page to the user/client.
on the internet, some free or paid servers are available like apche2.0, Microsoft Internet service (IIS), nginx, Google web server, Oracle,LIGHTTPAD, and other servers.
