How does a web server and web browser work together in completeing a request on the net?
First process is a DNS request to resolve name to layer 3 address. When DNS server responds and IP address is known, computer starts TCP 3 way handshake (establishing connection with a Server where requested page is stored). When communication is established ACK flag is set. Next step is HTTP request from client and HTTP respond from server which contents a web page in it (GET and OK). Then comes session termination-2 way handshake (FIN and ACK) from server first and client after.

How do you get on airg on coms?
Want to use AirG Chat on the Computer? This answer was found on: http://im.about.com/od/imformobilephones/a/airg-chat-on-computer.htm
If you want to get on AirG on your PC, you will need Firefox, XHTML Mobile Profile and Preferences Menu plugins. Then, select Preferences > Spoof As > Keep Out, and enter "Msnmobile.airg.ca" as the address. You can then sign in as normal.
If you update to FireFox 3.6, the preference plug for the pref button WILL NOT work. Make sure you keep it to 3.5 to make it work.
While this has worked for a while now, it appears that today this method stopped working. Now using the above settings, the site will reload to the regular non mobile version of airg.
What are the names of the 2 popular browsers?
In the world of modern web browsers, it's hard to say which one is the best. Everyone has their favourites.
The most popular web browser is probably Microsoft's Internet Explorer, closely followed by Google Chrome.
Internet Explorer is a very old browser, which is now on version 9.0, compared to Google Chrome, which is younger but is still progressed to version 15!
There are a lot of other browsers available, including Firefox and Opera along with many others, all good browsers.
Today, there are as many browsers as there are countries and as many customization options as there are people. However, most mainstream browsers fall into one of four categories:
-Single-Purpose/App Browsers (Can be used to browse only one webpage at a time, usually full-screen, better to appreciate web apps)
-"Light" Browsers (Usually with no more features than a tab bar, these are focused on speed and old computer support)
-Full Browsers (Tons of customization options and features, can be very heavy on RAM, most people use these, a new-ish computer is needed)
-Browser Suites (Mostly abandoned, popular during the first internet popularity surge, they often include an email client, RSS reader, chat client, etc.)
What factors are used to assess a website?
File types can influence a websites performance, and also how converting formats can improve the performance. The type of applications that you use on your site such as (flash, java etc.) and whether plug-ins is available. Intense graphics, music - loading time will slow
There are many different factors which can affect the performance of a website. It's important to have a fast server. If the host has a slow server then it will take longer for the server to send HTML cods between the computers, it also helps for the end user to have an efficient computer. For example if you have many images on your web site and the end user has a slow computer then it will take longer to load and the user may deicide to switch to another web site. Increased technology has contributed to the complexity of many tasks performed in the workplace, making it difficult for employees to complete their work independently. In response to the technological advances, many organizations have adopted a team approach to work. Teams are viewed as being more suitable for complex tasks because they allow members to share the workload, monitor the work behaviours of other members, and develop and
Contribute expertise on subtasks.
Another factor is the applications on your website. If you have a lot of special effects on your web site then again it will take longer to load. For example if you used an image which moves and created by java or flash then it will take longer to load also if the user doesn't have the software on his or hers PC then it may not even load.
Its important to have a web address which matches your website because if not then people may find it difficult to find your website, it's a good idea to register your site to well known search engines like Google.
Also it's important to make sure your web site is compatible with more then one web browser like internet explore from Microsoft but also lesser known browsers like Firefox or opera.
A lot of images are Bitmap or vector before coming onto a web site. This is because these files are normally large and take a lot of space. So web designers convert a lot of their images to JPEG. JPEG files are good because they can be compressed to nearly any size with out losing a lot of the image quality. Any sound on a website like background music can use file types like WAV or MP3, MP4, WAV can hold compress audio files which is good for a website because it uses less space then the MP3 and MP4. Also WAV is the standard audio file type for Linux and windows.

There is no definite way to measure this. Both have plenty of security holes, but most are patched quickly. There is no such thing as a 100% secure browser.

More information about the sandbox technique can be found in the link.

What are browser Clients and what do they do?
Browser Clients are one of Two things: First off a regular Client browser is a program you use to surf the Web. Such as Opera, Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Many words have more than one meaning or can be more than one part of speech, so always check a dictionary to verify which part of speech or which definition you want to use.

Which browser is the most stable?
I use internet explorer. It may not be the best but it is not bad.
It is easier to use than safari.
Internet explorer is a terrible choice of browser. its years behind other browsers in regards to standards compliance (the brand new Internet Explorer 9 is roughly equivalent to Firefox's progress two years ago.), its coded so haphazardly that its notoriously known as one of the least secure, and most exploitable browser.
9 out of 10 Computer Scientists will agree, The only thing internet explorer is good for is downloading an alternative browser.
as far as stability, Firefox in its early versions suffered from some embarrassing memory leak issues which commonly caused crashes and hangups, but these have long since passed.
if you're looking for an alternative to Firefox, chrome is also very good, although i have experienced some hangups recently...
What web browsers are suitable for Linux?
Linux has a large and healthy variety of web browsers. Mozilla Firefox is equally popular on the Linux desktop. Opera also has a decent following on Linux. Konqueror, which uses a rendering engine similar to Safari and Google Chrome, also has some usage.
There are lots of smaller web browsers, such as Dillo, Lynx, or Arachne, that are sometimes used in less powerful computers.
