CHAPTER 27 World Wide Web

27.1 WWW


The World Wide Web (WWW) uses the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), a subset of the Simple Generalized Markup Language (SGML), as one of it's formats. This allows you publish your own multimedia documents on the network. The Internet protocol used is HyperText Transfer Protocol (http), which allow the client and server to negotiate the transfer representation of the document. We'll use this as an example of how to set up a complicated server on your workstation.
