Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

> ## 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 OpenEdge Getting Started: WebSpeed Essentials .) 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 sends 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 sends the Web page.

> 6. The Web page is received by the browser.

> The preceding steps repeat.
