I want to know everything that happens when a request is recieved by the web server

Question

I want to know everything that happens when a request is recieved by a web server. Any good articles would help.

I have come across an article but I am not sure if that is everything that needs to be known. Here is the link. http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/article821-beginners-guide-how-iis-process-aspnet-request-.aspx

Good articles from @marc_s - so I'll try a different tack. Install Fiddler or one of the other HTTP traffic monitoring tools as a way of monitoring the data packets. That would tell you a lot about HTTP traffic.
