HTTP to request Web pages and related resources from a Web server. A Web
server is a computer that is continually connected to the Internet and that runs
some type of Web server software application. It uses the HTTP protocol to
receive requests for Web pages and related resources. It responds to these requests
and sends the resources.

2. There are several protocols discussed in this chapter that use the Internet but do
   not use the Web. E-mail messages are transmitted using the Internet. SMTP
   (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used to send e-mail messages. POP (Post Office
   Protocol) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) can be used to receive
   e-mail messages. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) can be used to exchange files (send
   and receive) with a computer connected to the Internet.


3. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) represents the address of a resource that
   is available on the Internet. A URL consists of a protocol, a domain name, and
   the hierarchical location of the file or resource. An example of a URL is
   http://www.webdevfoundations.net/chapter1/index.htm. A domain name locates
   an organization or other entity on the Internet and is associated with a unique
   numeric IP address. A domain name is part of a URL.

   independent display of information. Each markup code is referred to as an
   element (or tag).


2. XHTML is the most recent version of HTML. It was developed by the W3C to
   be the reformulation of HTML as an application of XML. XHTML combines the
