How are ports used on a web server?
Asked by Wiki User
When two programs on the same computer want to access the internet, they will each use a different port. For example, if you are chatting on AIM and browsing the web at the same time, web traffic will go through port 80 and AIM traffic will go through port 5190. That way when data comes back to the computer, it can be directed either to AIM (if it comes in on 5190) or the web browser (if it comes into port 80). If you are choosing a port manually for some reason, it doesn't usually matter what you choose as long as that port number is not in use by another program. Pick a big random number and you are safe. -DJ Craig
What is correct On a server or in a server?
Asked by Wiki User
No. It isn't. Haven't you swum in the other pool yet? Answer: Although I don't like to disagree, and it's certainly true that in traditional written English we should say 'haven't you swum..', people do use 'you haven't swum..' with a rising intonation in spoken English to express surprise. The questioner may be asking about the declarative sentence 'You haven't swum in the other pool yet.' The question mark relates to the inquiry about grammar, and not necessarily to the function of the construct. As a declarative sentence, it is correct.

Can you sue a website?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, but some minor websites are no. If it is like an answer on Yahoo! Answers, then you can suspend that persons account, but probably not sue them. Google would probably give credit, but if it does not im pretty sure that you can sue them in court or online court.
If its a minor website, then maybe only online court, suspension, deleting website, or maybe even get them to give you credit.

How does a web server and web browser work together in completeing a request on the net?
Asked by Wiki User
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.
