In this video, I delved into the fascinating process of what happens when we type a URL into our browser. Starting from the basics, I explained the components of a URL and the crucial role of DNS resolution in connecting machines through human-readable domain names. I detailed the steps of establishing a TCP connection, sending an HTTP request, and receiving and rendering an HTML response. This overview sheds light on the intricate workings behind a seemingly simple act of browsing the internet. Stay tuned for deeper dives into each step in upcoming videos.
