An HTTP Protocol Drill:Fetch a URL (5)

• If file exists, the HTTP server sends its contents back to the client, otherwise the server reports an “error: file not found” back to the client.

• The HTTP server closes the connection.

• The Browser interprets and displays the contents of the information sent by the server (requesting other web files if necessary).

• Done!
