I have a very beginner's question on HTTP response. I've seen the HTTP request packet contents and found that it has the User Agent specified in it. But that is not in HTTP response. How the system will identify the correct user agent. (BRIEF: How the HTTP response from Mozilla Firefox reaches Mozilla back but not going to Google Chrome, How the application identifies the response is for it)

You're looking at the too high a level - the communication is sent to the relevant *socket*, rather than specifying application by name. – Rowland Shaw Sep 08 '15 at 20:11

So socket will get created for each application whenever it needs an HTTP communication?. If so where in the response the socket identification information is specified?. I am sorry if am asking simple questions. I am a tyro. – hhsecond Sep 08 '15 at 20:13

@RowlandShaw The socket is again a software piece, right? Where in the response it is specified that the data is for a particular socket? – hhsecond Sep 09 '15 at 12:23
