Describe the process of an HTTP request to google.com step by step (from curl to content retrieval)

You run the command curl https://google.com in the terminal.

curl begins the process of resolving the domain name google.com to an IP address via a DNS query.

After obtaining the IP address, curl establishes a TCP connection with the Google server on port 443 (HTTPS).

Then, a TLS handshake occurs to establish a secure channel.

After a successful TLS connection, curl sends an HTTP GET request / with the necessary headers.

The Google server processes the request and sends an HTTP response with a status code (e.g., 200 OK) and the page content.

curl receives the response, processes it (e.g., decompresses it), and outputs the content to the terminal.

The TCP connection is closed (unless keep-alive is used).
