How does the browser / server work together to display the html page?

Question

I ask this question a lot = /

But I only know how to answer it at a very high level.

From the minute a user enters a URL and gets into it, what happens on the client and server side, and how do requests / responses work? How does the server interact with CGI / interpreters?

It would also be helpful if you could direct me to a URL that contains this information, or if you can respond to it.

When I describe this to people, I always feel that they are looking for specifics, and I do not give enough details.

Thank!
