URL Format
A URL consists of three parts:
- Protocol — what method will be used to transfer the data (usually HTTP.)
- Host — the unique name of the computer (Host) that holds the resource
- Path — a relative path name of the disk file on the host
These parts are put together like this:
Protocol://Host/Path
For example, here is a popular URL:
http://chortle.ccsu.edu/index.html
