Topic: Client-server


  
 Client-server - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clients get all or most of their information and rely on the application server for things such as configuration files, stock quotes, business application programs, or to offload computer-intensive application tasks back to the server in order to keep the client computer (and client computer user) free to perform other tasks.
Server software generally, but not always, runs on powerful computers dedicated for exclusive use to running the business application.
A Client/Server architecture is intended to provide a scalable architecture, whereby each computer or process on the network is either a client or a server.

 Client (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A client is a computer system that accesses a (remote) service on another computer by some kind of network.
These dumb terminals were clients of the time-sharing mainframe computer.
The term was first applied to devices that were not capable of running their own stand-alone programs, but could interact with remote computers via a network.

 Client / Server Computing
The server computes the results of the query.
Since the user interface is the responsibility of the client, the server has more computing resources to spend on analyzing queries and disseminating information.
Clients could be also written for DOS- or UNIX-based computers.

 Client/Server Frequently Asked Questions
In database servers, clients passes SQL (Structured Query Language) requests as messages to the server and the results of the query are returned over the network.
The logical extension of this is to have clients and servers running on the appropriate hardware and software platforms for their functions.
Workstations support the presentation and function logic and interface with the data server through the data manipulation language.Distributed data management is an extension of remote data management and uses the distributed facilities of the DBMS to access distributed data in a manner transparent to users.

 What is server? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
A database server is a computer system that processes database queries.
A print server is a computer that manages one or more printers, and a network server is a computer that manages network traffic.
For example, a file server is a computer and storage device dedicated to storing files.

 Writing the Server Side of a Socket
This object implements the protocol-the language that the client and server have agreed to use to communicate.
Knock!" so afterwards the server must wait for the client to say "Who's there?" As a result, the while loop iterates on a read from the input stream.
The readLine method waits until the client responds by writing something to its output stream (the server's input stream).

 Client/Server Fundamentals Page 1
The functions performed by a client and a server can be implemented by a set of software modules, hardware components, or a combination thereof.
In this case, order processing clients may reside on store computers to perform initial checking and preprocessing, and the order processing servers may exist at the corporate mainframe to perform final approval and shipping.
It is unfortunate that some machines are called "servers." This causes confusion (try explaining to an already bewildered user that a client’s software is running on a machine called "the server").

 Client/Server Software Architectures--An Overview
A single machine can be both a client and a server depending on the software configuration.
The difference between TP monitor technology and message server is that the message server architecture focuses on intelligent messages, whereas the TP Monitor environment has the intelligence in the monitor, and treats transactions as dumb data packets.
The three tier application server architecture allocates the main body of an application to run on a shared host rather than in the user system interface client environment.

 client/server - a Whatis.com definition
Relative to the Internet, your Web browser is a client program that requests services (the sending of Web pages or files) from a Web server (which technically is called a Hypertext Transport Protocol or HTTP server) in another computer somewhere on the Internet.
The balance is returned back to the bank data client, which in turn serves it back to the client in your personal computer, which displays the information for you.
For example, to check your bank account from your computer, a client program in your computer forwards your request to a server program at the bank.

 Client and Server Scripting in Web Pages (Visual InterDev Technical Articles)
For example, you can use server scripting to query a database and format the results into an HTML page that is then sent to the user as a static page.
To use the server method, you need to place this code before the open HTML tag so that the redirect is evaluated before the page's header information is read.
The code in the next two samples shows the difference between using the value of a server variable versus referencing a server variable.

 Client Side State - HTTP Cookies
This is the format a CGI script would use to add to the HTTP headers a new piece of data which is to be stored by the client for later retrieval.
If a proxy server receives a response which contains a Set-cookie header, it should propagate the Set-cookie header to the client, regardless of whether the response was 304 (Not Modified) or 200 (OK).
A cookie is introduced to the client by including a Set-Cookie header as part of an HTTP response, typically this will be generated by a CGI script.

 An Exploration of Dynamic Documents
Client pull -- the server sends down a chunk of data, including a directive (in the HTTP response or the document header) that says "reload this data in 5 seconds", or "go load this other URL in 10 seconds".
The HTTP connection stays open all the time, and the server pushes down new data blocks as rapidly or as infrequently as it wants, and in between data blocks the browser simply sits and waits for more data in the current window.
The general idea is that browsers have always been driven by user input.

 Client-Server FYI
CGI is a specification that says that the server will hand input to a program in a specific format, and expect to get output returned in a specific format.
Server Side Includes (SSIs) are closely related to CGI in that they are instructions to the Webserver for performing special functions.
The Server will wait for the results of the CGI script to run before continuing to parse your page, which can make it possible to construct pages as you go.

 United Admins Limited
When you play Half-Life, your computer is known as a client.
This deprives the cheats of the information they need in order to function, and forces them to change the way they get information which is quite hard, instead of just making themselves look different which is relatively easy.
There are currently several global cheater databases running, one of these is even integrated into cheat detection software.

Typically, this allows a user program at a workstation to act as a client issuing requests to programs and databases that may be located at many remote computing sites.
Examples of the issues are performance trade-offs, security, flexibility, access/integration of legacy systems, and the interoperability and portability of client side software with server side software supplied by different vendors.

 Client-server mail protocols FAQ
Stealing from that document: With POP (Post Office Protocol), mail is delivered to a shared server, and a personal computer user periodically connects to the server and downloads all of the pending mail to the "client" machine.
Notes indicate that it was coded based on RFC1225, which has been obsoleted by RFC1460 and RFC1725 since pop3d was released.

 Client/Server Computing
PC/LAN systems provide the opposite pathological case where there would be a file server where shared files would reside, and substantially all system logic resided as part of a program running on each PC.
By adding the additional "tiers," processing may be split across many servers, thus allowing the systems to handle more complex requirements without bogging down.
Traditional mainframe systems are a pathological case where the "presentation server" was a 3270 terminal, and all other aspects of system logic ran on the mainframe server.
