With the approach based on sockets, they have to implement the http protocol ( or a subset of it), synchronize the client and server, and if you have a multithreaded server, you get to implement connection keep alive and things like that. The depth you go is much much different!
- charcircuit 6y ago>How many exercises could you make around looking the network tab on a browser? I was not suggesting to do an exercise. If the goal of your exercise is to show that the web is built off text being passed back and forth it can easily be shown by just looking at the network tab. From a web development perspective the exact details of how HTTP packets are encoded are not that important. For the same reason a deep knowledge of TCP is not really important.
