How do multiple browser windows coordinate multithreading?

Hi,

If I open multiple browser windows and an HTTP response comes back, how does it know which browser it belongs to?

Thanks!

When the browser goes to get each file it needs (html page, image, js file, etc...) It creates a connection to the web server to recieve that file. So when it is requesting more then one page at a time, it opens more then one connection.

Sathallrin,

Thanks, but I guess I need more details.

When an HTTP response comes into my computer, how is it routed to the correct browser window? Does each browser window operate on a different port number? Or is it done through sockets?

Thanks!
