Hypertext Transfer Protocol(HTTP)
HTTP is a protocol for transferring information on the www. It sends requests from browsers to servers and uses URLs, starting with “http://”, to access resources.
Web Architecture
Web architecture is the design of websites, focusing on user needs, content, usability , and structure. It includes two-tier and three-tier models for organizing web systems.
Web Architecture - Two-tier Architecture
A client connects directly to a server, with no intervening server.
It is typically used in small environments (less than 50 users).
Web Architecture -Three-tier Architecture
clients connect to an application server, which then communicates with a database server.
Client-Server Environment
The client-server environment separates clients (like browsers) from servers. Clients request services, creating a scalable network where devices can be either clients or servers.
