We can see that the first thing to do to make an HTTP request is to open a socket!

Sending the HTTP Request # client.py import socket socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) socket.connect(("www.google.com", 80)) request = b'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.google.com\r\n\r\n' socket.sendall(request)

Just like an HTTP request has headers and content, a TCP packet also has headers and content.
