The client/server nature of Web browsers is deceptively simple. To most users, retrieving information on the World Wide Web is a simple procedure: click on a link, and the information appears on the screen. More knowledgeable users have some understanding of the nature of HTML syntax and the client/server nature of the protocols used. This is usually sufficient for the production of simple, page-oriented Web site content. Authors of more complex Web pages have a wide variety of options to automate the collection and presentation of information using HTML.

Before building a Web server application, it is useful to understand how the client issues a request and how the server responds to client requests:

- Composing client requests
- Serving client requests
- Responding to client requests
