The Wireless Application Environment or WAE provides an architecture for communication between wireless devices and Web servers. To understand WAE, you should first be familiar with the WWW model, which is a simpler architecture based on similar principles.
In the WWW model, a browser requests a URL from a Web server via HTTP. That Web server responds with an HTML page, which is also sent via HTTP. Because all browsers speak HTTP and both client and server speak the same protocol, they can communicate directly.
