Requests and Responses Quiz

A "client" is a computer making an HTTP request
A "server" is a computer responding to an HTTP request
A computer can be a client, a server, both, or neither. "Client" and "server" are just words we use to describe what computers are doing within a communication system.
Clients send requests and receive responses
Servers receive requests and send responses

Example Code
