  • QUOTE: In computing, a uniform resource locator or universal resource locator (URL) is a specific character string that constitutes a reference to an Internet resource.

    A URL is technically a type of uniform resource identifier (URI) but in many technical documents and verbal discussions URL is often used as a synonym for URI.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_resource_locator#Syntax
  • QUOTE: Every URL consists of some of the following: the scheme name (commonly called protocol), followed by a colon, two slashes, then, depending on scheme, a domain name (alternatively, IP address), a port number, the path of the resource to be fetched or the program to be run, then, for programs such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts, a query string, and an optional fragment identifier.

    The syntax is:-
    scheme://domain:port/path?query_string#fragment_id
