What is the main function of a web browser in relation to HTTP?
  • Step 1: Understand that a web browser is a software application used to access the internet.
  • Step 2: Know that HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which is a set of rules for transferring data on the web.
  • Step 3: Realize that when you enter a website address in the browser, it sends an HTTP request to the server where the website is hosted.
  • Step 4: The server responds to the request by sending back HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) code, which contains the structure of the web page.
  • Step 5: The web browser takes this HTML code and interprets it, turning it into a visual web page that you can see and interact with.
