+                                      client.c
+
+This client.c program is designed to fake being a web browser. It sends the
+expected requests to the web server over a network socket connection and
+displays the results as text rather than graphically displaying the results. In
+the code you will have to change the two lines as below to match your web
+server or nweb server.
+
+/* YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THESE TWO LINES TO MATCH YOUR CONFIG / #define PORT
+ * 8181 /
+Port number as an integer - web server default is 80 / #define IP_ADDRESS
+"192.168.0.8" / IP Address as a string */
+
+The default is to request the /index.html from the web server. If you want to
+request another file then change the GET line as below:
+
+char *command = "GET /index.html HTTP/1.0 \r\n\r\n" ;
+
+To, for example:
+
+char *command = "GET /nigel.jpg HTTP/1.0 \r\n\r\n" ;
+
+Then compile the program with: cc client.c -o client
+
+I save the output in to a file as putting a non-test file like .jpg to the
+terminal screen can cause chaos: client >output
+
+Then edit the output file: vi output
+
+In real life, the interaction of web browser and web server can be much more complex.
+
+ 1. The web browser can tell the web server about its name, version and capabilities.
+
+ 2. The web server can send complex file types line JavaScript or Java programs
+or other active components.
+
+ 3. They can maintain a longer connection over the socket for efficiency.
+
+ 4. Below is an example of my Firefox brower requesting an index.html file. I
+have added newline characters to make it readable - it is 1300 bytes long! I
+have no idea what most of it is about. You will have to read the The World Wide
+Web Consortium (W3C) at http://www.w3.org for all the details.
