plain english article on how asp.net works with http?

hi folks
does anyone know of any articles on the web that explain clearly what is
happening (in detail) when you post an .aspx page to the web server and when
it returns a new page to your browser?

I'd just like to know this sort of thing as I think it will make me a better
ASP.net programmer

Regards and many thanks in advance

Clarify, please. Are you looking for an extremely detailed breakdown of the
ASP.NET page lifecycle?

try this

http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/011404-1.aspx

It wont make you a better programmer, but you might understand the HTTP
Protocol better and how that sits within the asp.net pipeline

sorry ken, I could have sworn that I sent a reply to your helpful question.

I suppose I'm looking for something that goes into HTTP more than usual, I'm
aware of the page lifecycle, but I'm intrigued at how the magic is all done
with regards to http

thx John I'll read the stuff at that link
Regards, and thanks again

All asp.net really does is implement the HTTP protocol, and provide a set of
objects that make interaction with that protocol easier. If you want ot
learn about http, you can detract yourself from asp.net and learn that as a
seperate thing. Once a webserver recieves a GET or POST request for
example, it has a certain way of handling it - thats the pipeline. In
ASP.NET the pipeline exposes a set of enhanced objects which can provides
access to the runtime - that is asp.net. The pipeline cannot be removed
from the http protocol, so learn about both if you really want to understand
how IIS and asp.net interact with http.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the wording but from what I think the standard says: 1. it's impossible to swap a restrict pointer with another pointer, i.e. int a = 1, b = 2; int * restrict ap = &a; int * restrict bp = &b;

I noticed something interesting today. In C++, you write: try { throw foo; } catch { } and all three keywords are verbs, so when you describe the code, you can use the same English words as in the program source, "You try to execute some code, but it throws a foo, which is caught by the handler".

Can anyone, anyone at all, tell me in plain...

I have been learning about asynchronous method calls and I keep coming across this term, "marshal" and I would like to know what it means - specifically. AFAIKT, it means "send" but I suspect there is a bit more than that. Looking to online docs, MSDN talks about the System.Runtime.Interop.Marshal class - but I don't think that's relevant to what I'm seeing. Maybe it is... The following is an example of the sort of thing I've been...
