What is a URL ? What are its components ? Examplify.

Answer

A location on a net server is called a URL or Uniform Resource Locator.

A URL is written as type://address/path

Thus, the components of a URL are:

  1. type — The type of server or protocol
  2. address — The name/address of the server on the Internet
  3. path — The location of the file on the server

For example, in the following URL:

http://encycle.msn.com/getinfo/styles.asp

  1. http — specifies the type of server and protocol
  2. encycle.msn.com — specifies the name/address of the server on the Internet
  3. getinfo/styles.asp — specifies the location of the file on the server
