Webservers and Webclients

Webservers
Webservers accepts requests from webclients, looks for the resource and returns the response to the client.

Webclients
Webclients sends a request to the webserver and displays the response to the user. In order to communicate betweeen webservers and webclients a protocol is required. A protocol is nothing but an aggrement between the 2 parties. The protocol in this case is HTTP.

Thus the above statement can be refrased as

Webservers accepts Http requests from webclients, looks for the resource and returns the Http response to the client while Webclients sends a Http request to the webserver and displays the Http response to the user.
