URL’s journey

11Oct06

I want to know what exactly happens when you give a particular URL to the web browser. What does it do? I know bits and pieces there, name has to be resolved, DNS query, fetching the page etc… but I want to know the whole story step by step. First what happens then what and then and so on. I guess I can just read the source code but right now I’m a bit lazy and have some other stuff to finish first. I will write about it here someday, when I go through it. I’m so curious to find out what acutally happens.
