Topic: Details on how client server sockets work in Apache2?

[apachefan]

Hi,

I am studying networking at uni, and whilst I know that port 80 is reserved for HTTP communication to clients on the apache server,and that the client can receive the HTTP response to any port on the client machine, I think there might be more details to it than this.

I am required to describe how client and server sockets are used for the client/server communication between an Apache Web server and Web client processes. However I do not know if there is anything more to it that what I mentioned before, is anyone able to provide me a link that will answer my question thoroughly please? I searched the web but could not find anything more on it than what I already knew. Any help would be appreciated. thanks
