Basic Browser-Agent Interaction

In order to understand dynamic code-page support, it is necessary to understand how the Web browser and the WebSpeed Agent interact in a typical WebSpeed configuration. (For information on typical WebSpeed configurations, see "WebSpeed Configurations," in this book.) For the moment, ignore the Web server, the WebSpeed Messenger, the WebSpeed Broker, and code pages. Assume that a browser and an Agent have established communication.

The browser and Agent interact as follows:

  1. The browser emits a Web request.
  2. The Web request is received by the Agent.
  3. The Agent runs the Web Object (the WebSpeed application).
  4. The WebSpeed application creates a Web page.
  5. The Agent emits the Web page.
  6. The Web page is received by the browser.

The preceding steps repeat.
