How an HTTP request works: a request, a status, a reply

How an HTTP request works: a request, a status, a reply

Every web page starts as a 62-byte note.

Your browser sends GET /hello and the site's name. The server answers with a status first (200 means OK), then the page itself.

Save this for the next time someone says the server returned a 404.
