Browsing — 1 • There exist a variety of browsers Explorer, Netscape, Mosaic, Lynx, Opera, Offline browsers • HTML, and therefore browsers, are not Page Definition Language or systems • Looking for dynamic, interactive presentation • Hence the role of PDF, Shockwave, Java, DHTML, VRML, SSI, PHP, ASP, CGI, etc.
Browsing — 5 an IP address is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet. The IP address is usually expressed as four decimal numbers, each representing eight bits, separated by periods. This is sometimes known as the dot address and, more technically, as dotted quad notation
Browsing — 14 The cache is often accessible later on. Originally there for speed sake, now makes for a security and privacy nightmare
