What really happens when you navigate to a URL...



What really happens when you navigate to a URL:



'via Blog this'...from the the blog of Igor Ostrovsky, a software developer at Microsoft's Parallel Computing Platform team.







Before you read the article, think about how you envision the internet working when you get online to check your mail, post a picture, message a friend, or like a post in your news feed.  It seems like you just clicked a few links or punched a few keys and voila, like magic you are instantly communicating with someone.  What is actually happening - behind the scenes - to make all this work so effortlessly?


  1. Write a sentence or two explaining what you know of the process of how the internet works in a comment  below and post it.  
  2. Now read the article.  Once you are done, and feel you understand it well enough to discuss it, return to your first explanation in the comments below.
  3. Reply to your original comment with an updated explanation of what you now understand about how the internet works.  Try to be as clear as possible.  You may want to look back to the article to check your facts as you go.
  4.  Lastly, check your writing to see if it will make sense when someone else reads it.  Before you post, correct any embarrassing grammatical errors you may have overlooked.

      1. You enter a URL in the browser.
      2. The browser looks up the IP address for the domain name.
      3. The browser sends an HTTP request to the web server.
      4. The server responds with a permanent redirect.
      5. The browser follows the redirect.
      6. The server 'handles' the request.
      7. The server sends back an HTML response.
      8. The browser begins rendering the HTML.

      There is really a lot that goes on behind the scenes of using the internet. It's pretty amazing how someone could even begin to think of making something this complex. It's a wonder of what might be created next.

  25. I know that the internet will send messages look up pictures and videos, i know it can pull up answers too questions, etc. and it does it all pretty fast, but I don't really know anything about how it actually works. Now I know that it is really complicated sequence that I am not even going to pretend to understand.

  52. I've never looked in to depth on how the internet works. I only use it to find out what I need to know. Once I find what I'm looking for then that's pretty much it. I never really use the internet and that's probably another reason I've never really wondered how it works.

  58. I really don't know how the internet works. I've never really thought about it too much. It takes me where I want to go, and so far that's been good enough to me.

    1. Here's what really happens:
      1.) You enter the URL into the Browser
      2.) The browser looks up the IP address for the domain
      3.) The browser sends a HTTP request to the web server
      4.) The server responds with a permanent redirect
      5.) The browser follows the redirect
      6.) The server "handles" the request
      7.) The server sends back a HTML response
      8.) The browser begins rendering the HTML
      9.) The browser sends requests for objects embedded in HTML
      10.) The browser sends further asynchronous (AJAX) requests

  59. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet.
    The Internet lets you transfer information around the world in seconds. How does to understand the Internet, it helps to look at it as a system with two main components. The first of i don't know about computer and things they connected.

  62. 1. Look up what you want in the search bar.
    2. The browser looks up whatever you want, or whatever is related to what you searched.
    3. The browser sends an http request to the internet.
    4. The server responds with a specific URL request.
    5. The browser follows the what was sent to it.
    6. The server handles the request.

  65. The Internet works by sending the URL to the www and finds the specific page requested by the code put in for it to look for. It does this so fast that we cant keep track of it with the human mind and it does this every time you click a new thing on the page. It may be a whole new window or just a text box but no matter what, it has a whole unique code to it that is requested when you push a button or click a link... At least that's how I think the Internet Works before I start this

  66. I know that when ever you use the internet, everything you type, put on it, every thing you post on Facebook, or anything, will always be there for everyone to see and will neevr go away.Just typing in a URL, goes through a lot of proccess. No one will ever truly understand how the internet works. It can transfer many things in just one second from all the way across the world.

    There are so many steps the browser has to go through, in such a short ammount of time. The internet never ceases to amaze me.

  72. Write a sentence or two explaining what you know of the process of how the internet works in a comment below and post it.

    Well I know that your computer sends packets from your computer to your router. The router then sends it to your modem. The data packets then go from modem to modem, on the internet, looking for the correct access point. After it finds the location specified, it collects the requested information and then the data packets go back. They then travel back to your compute and appear in your web browser.

    1. Reply to your original comment with an updated explanation of what you now understand about how the internet works. Try to be as clear as possible. You may want to look back to the article to check your facts as you go.

      First your browser goes through many DNS caches on multiple levels to find the correct IP for the DNS. Then it sends a request to Facebook for the necessary information. If the Url is not the main url it is directed to the main one by a 301. The browser follows the redirect to the main url.

      The server then processes the request and sends the requested information back the the computer. The browser then unzips the file with the correct algorithms. It reads the HTML file and loads the data from the URLs supplied. The page is displayed. As the user uses the site, the browser updates the information with AJAX.

  73. First you type in URL into the browser. Then the internet browser looks up the IP address for the name of the website. The internet browser sends a HTTP request to the web server then the server redirects you to a page.The browser does what it is told. Then the server receives the request and then starts processing it. The browser starts processing the html then it sends back a request for the objects embedded in the html. Finally, the browser send more (AJAX) requests.

  76. The Internet works by someone inputting a website in the URL, then you are bounced from server to server before you reach your URL destination.

  77. I do not know what steps it really takes for the Internet to work besides the obvious one: type in something in the search engine and then an answer pops up.

    First, you go to a browser and type in an URL. Second, the browser looks up the IP address for the domain name. Next, a HTTP request will be sent to the server from the browser. Then, the server from Facebook redirects you. After that, the browser follows the redirection. The sixth step is the request is handled by the server. A HTML response is then sent back from the server. Next, the browser begins rendering the HTML. The browser sends requests for objects embedded in HTML is the eighth step. The next and final step is the browser sends further asynchronous (AJAX) requests.

  78. I'm really not sure how the internet works exept the fact that you type in an address in the address bar and it takes you to a website.
    Here are the steps on how the internet works. First, you enter an URL into a browser or address bar. Secondly, the browser will search its files for the IP address. Then, the browser sends an HTTP request to the web server. Which then the server responds with a redirect. The server follows the request. In which the server sends an HTML response, and the browser starts rendering the HTML. It will also request embedded items in the HTML. And lastly, the browser sends further AJAX requests.
    There are a million times more things that go on in the internet that we never know that happens. Its really overwhelming if you think about it.

  80. I do not know really what happens after you type in the URL. I mean it could take you to any website it likes, and when you are on this "website" it could be downloading a virus in the background.

    First you place your URL into the browser. Second your browser does not know your IP address/domain name, so your browser will look up your IP address for the domain name. Third your browser will send a HTTP request to the web server. Fourth the Facebook server will respond with a permanent more secure redirect. Fifth your browser will understand and follow the redirect. Sixth your server will handle the request. Seventh your server will send back a HTML response. Eighth your browser begins rendering the HTML. Ninth your browser sends requests for objects embedded in HTML. Tenth and finally your browser sends further asynchronous (AJAX) requests.
    I know understand how and what happens when you hit enter on your internet browser.

  81. First you enter a URL into the browser by typing it in.
    Second the browser looks up the IP address for the domain name, this is the first step in the navigation, it figures out the IP address for the visited domain.
    Third the browser sends a HTTP request to the web server, it does not go to the web page first.
    Fourth the webpage server responds with a permanent redirect, this step allows you to go to the website.
    Fifth the browser follows the redirect.
    Sixth the server ‘handles’ the request, the server gets your request and sends it back to you.
    Seventh the server sends back a HTML response.
    Eighth the browser begins rendering the HTML, it renders the website.
    Ninth the browser sends requests for objects embedded in HTML, if it notices it requires fetching it goes through other URLs.
    Tenth the browser sends further asynchronous (AJAX) requests, the client continues to communicate with the server after you leave the page.
