Web servers respond to
9+
`Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`_
10+
requests from
11+
clients. A client is usually a browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox,
12+
or Chrome, but it can also be a
13+
14+
* headless browser, which is commonly use for testing, such as
15+
`phantomjs <http://phantomjs.org/>`_
16+
* commandline utility like `wget <https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>`_
17+
or `curl <http://curl.haxx.se/>`_
18+
* a text-based web browser such as
19+
`Lynx <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)>`_
20+
* web crawler.
21+
22+
Web server process requests from the above clients. The result of the web
23+
server's processing is a
24+
`response code <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP/Response_codes>`_
25+
and commonly a content response. Some status codes, such as 204 (No content)
26+
and 403 (Forbidden), do not have content responses.
27+
28+
In a simple case, the client will request a static asset such as a picture
29+
or JavaScript file. The file sits on the file system in a location the
30+
web server is authorized to access and the web server sends the file
31+
to the client with a 200 status code. If the client already requested the
32+
file and the file has not changed, the web server will pass back a 304
33+
"Not modified" response indicating the client already has the latest version
34+
of that file.

40+
:class: technical-diagram
41+
42+
A web server sends files to a web browser based on the web browser's
43+
request. In the first request, the browser accessed the
44+
"www.fullstackpython.com"
45+
address and the server responded with the index.html HTML-formatted file.
46+
That HTML file contained references to other files, such as style.css and
47+
script.js that the browser then requested from the server.
48+
49+
Sending static assets (such as CSS and JavaScript files) can eat up a
50+
large amount of bandwidth which is why using a Content Delivery Network
51+
(CDN) is important when possible (see the content delivery network
52+
section for a more detailed explanation).
