Solution

The transmission from the computer browser to a web server when a URL is entered is known as an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) transmission.

Here are the steps that occur:

  1. You enter a URL into your web browser.
  2. The browser looks up the IP address for the domain name via DNS.
  3. The browser sends an HTTP request to the server at that IP address.
  4. The server responds to the request with an HTTP response.
  5. The browser begins rendering the HTML.
  6. The browser sends requests for additional objects embedded in HTML (images, css, JavaScript) and repeats steps 3-5.
  7. Once the page is loaded, the browser sends further asynchronous requests as needed.
