Networking

Hi,

I have a question on networking. I will try to ask with an example...

Suppose i am googling something, as in searching something in the google page. In this case what I basically want to know is, does the client do a connect evrytime to the server whenever a search is done in google, where the server is listening on the master socket?

Thanks

Yes, the client makes a new connection every time, more or less. Newer versions of the HTTP protocol may allow clients to retrieve multiple requests in a row without breaking the first connection, which is handy for performance reasons, but that isn't mandatory.
