This image illustrates the network structure of an HTTP service. The main components are:
Client Side:
- Browser: Handles URL requests, HTML parsing, and JavaScript execution
- OS: Runs the browser, translates URL (domain) to IP
Internet:
- DNS: Converts domain names to IP addresses
- IP: Transfers data using IP addresses
Server Side:
- OS (Operating System): Runs applications, manages IP network
- TLS: Handles encryption
- WEB:
- Manages HTML embedding
- Handles JSP (JavaServer Pages)
- Typically deals with static content and some dynamic content generation
- WAS (Web Application Server):
- Handles server-side programming and application logic
- Manages complex dynamic content generation
- Interacts with the database
- Handles business logic of the application
- DB: Database for storing and retrieving data for web services
The diagram shows the entire process of how an HTTP request is handled, from the web browser to the server’s database. It briefly explains the technologies and protocols involved at each step, providing a helpful overview of the basic structure of web services.
