T3
T3
reference to a resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for
retrieving it. A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI),[2][3] although
many people use the two terms interchangeably.[4][a] URLs occur most commonly to
reference web pages(HTTP/HTTPS) but are also used for file transfer (FTP), email (mailto),
database access (JDBC), and many other applications.
Most web browsers display the URL of a web page above the page in an address bar. A
typical URL could have the form http://www.example.com/index.html, which indicates a
protocol (http), a hostname (www.example.com), and a file name (index.html).
