| | Uniform Resource Locator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A URL is classified by its scheme, which typically indicates the network protocol used to retrieve a representation of the identified resource over a computer network. | | | Meanwhile, the definition of the general syntax of URLs has forked into a separate line of URI specifications: RFC 2396 (1998) and RFC 2732 (1999), both of which are obsolete but still widely referenced by URL scheme definitions; and the current standard, STD 66 / RFC 3986 (2005). | | | The URLs employed by HTTP, the protocol used to transmit web pages, are the most popular kind of URI and can be used as an example to demonstrate the concept of the URI. |

| | RFC 1738 - Uniform Resource Locators (URL). T. Berners-Lee, L. Masinter, M. McCahill. |
| | FTP URLs may also be used for other operations; for example, it is possible to update a file on a remote file server, or infer information about it from the directory listings. | | | In such cases, it is convenient to have a separate syntactic wrapper that delimits the URL and separates it from the rest of the text, and in particular from punctuation marks that might be mistaken for part of the URL. | | | A file URL takes the form: file:/// where is the fully qualified domain name of the system on which the is accessible, and is a hierarchical directory path of the form //.../. |

| | Web Naming and Addressing Overview (URIs, URLs, ...) |
| | In situations where the base URL is well-defined and known to the parser (human or machine), it is useful to be able to embed URL references which inherit that context rather than re-specifying it in every instance. | | | When embedded within a base document, a URL in its absolute form may contain a great deal of information which is already known from the context of that base document's retrieval, including the scheme, network location, and parts of the url-path. | | | They make resources available under a variety of naming schemes and access methods such as HTTP, FTP, and Internet mail addressable in the same simple way. |

| | The URL scheme also allows you to include a query string that is to be passed to the designated URL. | | | This is indicated by placing a question mark at the end of the URL, followed by the desired query string. | | | The query string must be specially encoded, using what is known as URL encoding. |

| | URL - Uniform Resource Locator |
| | It was developed primarily to address the need to have a uniform way to locate various files and data objects on the Internet, when it was becoming apparent that simply describing that path to a data object was too much. | | | A Uniform Resource Locator is, as the name implies, a standard way of referencing an object on the Internet. | | | This way, no matter where your data was, or what kind of server it was on, it could be described in usually less than 80 characters. |
