I can't be arsed to hold your hand when you ask basic questions and
then get arsey when you get a basic answer.  The question you asked was
pretty much a 'what is ajax and how does it work' question the question
you really wanted to ask was 'what is http and how does it work'
perhaps a read of http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
will help you with basic quesioning on technical subjects.


RTFM rfc2616 has the answers to the questions you need or
alternatively you could read my post before you respond telling me I
didn't answer your question. It's piss easy stuff that servers have been
doing for years and if you don't know this don't play the big I am when
people answer the question you asked.
