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:

The browser sends a Web request.
The Web request is received by the agent.
The agent runs the Web Object (the WebSpeed application).
The WebSpeed application creates a Web page.
The agent sends the Web page.
The Web page is received by the browser.

The preceding steps repeat.
