TCPConnection between programs on 2 computers so they can talk program Computer-1Computer-2 TCP connection (like a browser) program (like a web server) listens on port (80) port: 80 port telnet google.com 80 Establish with: telnet domain-name port

HTTP Protocol to exchange message requests & responses between browser and web server 2-way TCP connection Browser Web server port: 80 HTTP request Message GET HTTP response Message Common HTTP command
