Develop Web applications for use on an Internet Information Server Web site. The Web is fundamentally a system of requests and responses. Web browsers request information by sending a URL to a Web server. The HTML page can be a static page that has already been formatted and stored in the Web site, a page that the server dynamically creates in response to information provided by the user, or a page that lists the available files and folders on the Web site. Every page on an intranet or on the Internet has a unique URL that identifies it.
Web browsers request a page by sending a URL to a Web server.
The server uses the information in the URL to locate and display the page. URL syntax is a specific sequence of protocol, domain name, and path to the requested information. Peer Web Services supports the HTTP, FTP, and gopher protocols. The path is the path to the requested information on the computer. A URL can also contain information that the Web server must process before returning a page.
