BASIC FUNCTIONS OF WEB BROWSERS

Provide a way for users to access and navigate Web pages Display Web pages properly Provide technology to enable multimedia features Provide access to Internet services (such as FTP and e-mail) Perform authentication and encryption functions

HOW BROWSERS WORK

1. You enter a URL into the browser 2. Browser divides the URL into three parts: protocol/server and domain name, and file name 3. Browser contacts a DNS to translate server name into an IP address 4. Browser uses IP address to connect to server 5. Browser uses HTTP to request a page from the server 6. Some level of authentication takes place 7. Server sends the requested page (coded in HTML) to the browser 8. Browser reads and interprets the HTML, and displays the Web page
