The Web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"column-left image-align\">CERN is not an isolated laboratory, but rather the focal point for an extensive community that includes more than 17 000 scientists from over 100 countries. Although they typically spend some time on the CERN site, the scientists usually work at universities and national laboratories in their home countries. Reliable communication tools are therefore essential.<\/p>\n<p class=\"column-left image-align\">The basic idea of the WWW was to merge the evolving technologies of computers, data networks and hypertext into a powerful and easy to use global information system.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Web began<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27808 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/FirstProposalMarch1989.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"905\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"column-right image-align\">Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first proposal for the World Wide Web in March 1989 and his\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cds.cern.ch\/record\/369245\/files\/dd-89-001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">second proposal in May 1990<\/a>. Together with Belgian systems engineer Robert Cailliau, this was formalised as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cds.cern.ch\/record\/2639699\/files\/Proposal_Nov-1990.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a management proposal<\/a>\u00a0in November 1990. This outlin<\/p>\n<p class=\"column-right image-align\">ed the principal concepts and it defined important terms behind the Web. The document described a &#8220;hypertext project&#8221; called &#8220;WorldWideWeb&#8221; in which a &#8220;web&#8221; of &#8220;hypertext documents&#8221; could be viewed by \u201cbrowsers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"column-right image-align\">By the end of 1990, Tim Berners-Lee had the first Web server and browser up and running at CERN, demonstrating his ideas. He developed the code for his Web server on a NeXT computer. To prevent it being accidentally switched off, the computer had a hand-written label in red ink: &#8220;<strong>This machine is a server.

The contents of the user agent field vary from browser to browser. Each browser has its own, distinctive user agent. Essentially, a user agent is a way for a browser to say \u201cHi, I\u2019m Mozilla Firefox on Windows\u201d or \u201cHi, I\u2019m Safari on an iPhone\u201d to a web server.<\/p>\n<p>The web server can use this information to serve different web pages to different web browsers and different operating systems. For example, a website could send mobile pages to mobile browsers, modern pages to modern browsers, and a \u201cplease upgrade your browser\u201d message to Internet Explorer 6.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_69533\"  width=\"760\" height=\"427\"  data-origwidth=\"760\" data-origheight=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BaJx1HT21QU?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<h2>3.Usersnap<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Usersnap Firefox add-on<\/strong>\u00a0lets you capture and annotate any website.
