If Nikos wants to write programs that communicate using internet 
protocols, Nikos really needs to learn where internet protocols are 
defined, how to read and interpret those protocol definitions, and how to 
check that the data he's sending or receiving is the data that he thinks 
he's sending or receiving.

Just as, if Nikos wants to generate web pages using HTML markup, Nikos 
needs to learn where HTML markup is defined.

There's no easy path to this knowledge. For some of us, it's been a 30 or 
more year journey so far and we're still learning (I'm into year 36, 
having started at the age of 14 and turning 51 in seven weeks).

If Nikos can't even figure out the right queries to feed into a search 
engine to get started on such matters as looking at the cookie jar in a 
browser or enabling cookie logging on a server, then he probably 
shouldn't be trying to code at this level.
