Question

What is a URL? (Uniform Resource Locator)

Answer 1

Short for Uniform Resource Locator, a URL is the address of a given unique resource (document or web page) on the web (www). A URL has several components: 

• Scheme: It identifies the protocol to be used to access the resource on the Internet (HTTP and HTTPS are two of the most common protocols).
• Host or Domain Name: It identifies the host that holds the resource. For example, brainiak.in
• Path: it is the exact location of a resource on the webserver 
• Query string: It consists of data to be passed to server-side scripts, running on the webserver
