Ask HN: best explanation of HTTP request from ground up
A few months ago someone submitted a blog post that explained what happens in an HTTP request from the ground up, at the level that your mom could understand it. It included nuances like DNS lookup, SSL, interpreting the URL, etc.
Does anyone have the link handy? Alternatively, if you think something does this particularly well, feel free to chime in with it.
