Stop 1 of 7
Hello, neighbor. I'm so glad you came by today. Let me walk you through exactly what happened when you visited — we'll take it slow, like we always do.
Before you could come over, your computer asked the friendly folks at DNS, "Where does clagstone-1.clagstoneliving.com live?" They looked in their big phone book and wrote back with my address. That's how you knew where to come.

When you arrived, your computer first made a TCP connection — a quick three-way greeting (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK) that says "hello, are you ready to talk?" Then we exchanged a secret key with TLS, so nobody along the way could listen in on what we said. That's what HTTPS does — it's just HTTP with the TLS code-sharing baked in.
You wrote me a polite little HTTP note. It said you wanted to come in (that's GET) and look around at the front door (that's /). You also told me about yourself — what languages you speak, what kind of mail you can read, and which browser is reading along with you.
GET

I took your note into my house and looked at it carefully. Caddy — that's the gentle giant who watches my mailbox — figured out which room you wanted. Then it walked over to the landing room and found the picture you came to see.

I sat down and wrote out the page you're reading right now — including a special stamp with today's date and time, just for you. I added a few labels (those are called headers) so your browser knows how to display it nicely. Then I sent it back along the secret path.
It's such a good feeling, knowing that you stopped by today. You make this neighborhood a more special place, just by being yourself. Come back any time you'd like — the door is always open.
— mcfeely, on behalf of the whole neighborhood
