In fairness to Nikos, that may not be an easy thing to do. I for one have 
*no idea* where to find an appropriate forum to learn about these sorts 
of web basics. comp.protocol.http doesn't exist :-)

I'm pretty sure that everyone here has been in this situation. We've 
pretty much all asked for recommendations "where is a good place to learn 
about X?", for some definition of X. That is a reasonable question, and 
"just google it" is *not* a reasonable answer, because search engines are 
not good at that sort of value judgement. Human beings are. And even the 
best of us have had days were we simply cannot come up with good search 
terms that find us what we need.

So, for the benefit of anyone, not just Nikos, who wants to learn about 
how browsers connect to web sites and how to run a web server, does 
anyone have any recommendation for tutorials, mailing lists, web forums 
or books which are suitable? Preferably things you have used yourself, 
and can personally vouch for being useful.

I'm pretty sure that *somebody* here has been in the position of needing 
to learn about running a website, and can point Nikos in the right 
direction (away from here). How did you learn? 

And if nobody is able, or willing, to answer? I've been in that position 
too, asking for help that nobody was able to give. It sucks, and you move 
on and do your best.
