| | 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. | | | 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. | | | The interaction between client and server is often described using sequence diagrams. |

| | Client (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A thick client (also known as a fat client or rich client) is a client that performs the bulk of any data processing operations itself, and relies on the server it is associated with primarily for data storage. | | | A thin client's job is generally just to graphically display information provided by an application server, which performs the bulk of any required data processing. | | | A client is a computer system that accesses a (remote) service on another computer by some kind of network. |

| | Client / Server Computing |
| | Since the user interface is the responsibility of the client, the server has more computing resources to spend on analyzing queries and disseminating information. | | | The client/server model is a form of distributed computing where one program (the client) communicates with another program (the server) for the purpose of exchanging information. | | | The server computes the results of the query. |

| | 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. | | | The code that processes the SQL request and the data resides on the server allowing it to use its own processing power to find the requested data, rather than pass all the records back to a client and let it find its own data as was the case for the file server. |

| | 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). |

| | 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 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. | | | Advantages are that with less software on the client there is less security to worry about, applications are more scalable, and support and installation costs are less on a single server than maintaining each on a desktop client [Schussel 96]. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | In the usual client/server model, one server, sometimes called a daemon, is activated and awaits client requests. |

| | Client Side State - HTTP Cookies |
| | 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). | | | Cookies are a general mechanism which server side connections (such as CGI scripts) can use to both store and retrieve information on the client side of the connection. | | | Servers should not expect clients to be able to exceed these limits. |

| | Client and Server Scripting in Web Pages (Visual InterDev Technical Articles) |
| | After you determine which browser and client set you would like to target, you can evaluate the feature set for your Web application to determine which features are most efficiently processed on the client and which on the server. | | | For example, to manage state in a client server application, you could use global variables but in a Web application, which is a series of hyperlinked pages, managing user states between pages is very different. | | | 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. |

| | 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". | | | In server push, a HTTP connection is held open for an indefinite period of time (until the server knows it is done sending data to the client and sends a terminator, or until the client interrupts the connection). | | | 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. |

| | Client-Server FYI |
| | A CGI script could ask a database on the Server machine (or another machine accessible to it) for numbers from a company's information file, then it could reformat that into a pretty display to pass back to the Webserver to give to the Web client. | | | 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. |
