Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

 Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) serves as the designated address for a specific resource on the internet. Each valid URL ideally corresponds to a distinct resource, such as an HTML page, a CSS document, or an image. However, in reality, there are exceptions to this rule, often involving URLs that point to non-existent or relocated resources. The responsibility for managing both the resource indicated by the URL and the URL itself lies with the owner of the web server.


A URL consists of various components, with certain parts being mandatory and others being optional. The following URL highlights the most crucial elements (further explanations are provided in subsequent sections):


Every URL contains the following information:

  • The scheme name or protocol.
  • A colon, two slashes.
  • A host, normally called a domain name but sometimes as a literal IP address.
  • A colon followed by a port number.
  • Full path of the resource.
URL protocols encompass HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (HTTP Secure) for web resources, "mail to" for email addresses, FTP for files on a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, and telnet for remote computer access sessions. While most URL protocols are accompanied by a colon and two forward slashes, "mail to" is preceded solely by a colon.
