ASP.Net – Web Browser’s Role

Role of Web Browser’s

  • Send requests to the web server. If the user enters http://www.microsoft.com, the web browser resolves the www.microsoft.com Domain Name System (DNS) address, uses HTTP to connect to the server, and requests a page.
  • Authenticate the server. If the server has an SSL certificate and the request was made with HTTPS, the web browser uses the certificate to authenticate the server and then decrypt future communications.
  • Process the response. If the server has provided HTML, the browser retrieves embedded objects, such as images, videos, or animations referenced in the HTML. If the server has provided an error, redirection, or other response, the browser responds appropriately.
  • Display HTML and embedded objects. Web browsers use HTML standards to determine how to display a webpage to the user. Because HTML can contain embedded objects, a web browser might have to display dozens of objects to render a single webpage.
  • Run client scripts. Client scripts, such as those written in JavaScript, enable interactive and responsive pages without reloading the page.
