URLsweb

URLsweb is a term that refers to the fundamental structure and components of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) as they are used on the World Wide Web. URLs are the addresses that uniquely identify resources on the internet, such as web pages, images, or other files. The "web" in URLsweb specifically highlights their application within the context of the World Wide Web, distinguishing them from other types of Uniform Resource Identifiers.

A typical URL used on the web consists of several key parts. The scheme, most commonly "http" or "https", indicates the protocol used to access the resource. This is followed by a colon and two forward slashes. The domain name, such as "example.com", identifies the server hosting the resource. This is often preceded by a subdomain, like "www". After the domain name, an optional port number can be specified, separated by a colon. The path then indicates the specific location of the resource on the server, using forward slashes to separate directories and file names. Finally, a URL can include a query string, starting with a question mark, which contains parameters passed to the server, and a fragment identifier, starting with a hash symbol, which points to a specific section within a resource. Understanding these components is crucial for navigating and interacting with the web effectively.
