    The document discusses the structure and components of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). A URL identifies files and resources on the Internet and contains several key parts: the protocol, domain name, directory, and filename. It provides examples of common protocols like HTTP and FTP. The domain name specifies the server location and may include a suffix to indicate the type or country. The directory and filename further specify the exact location of the requested file on that server.

    UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR (URL)

    A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the

    When you type a URL into your browser or click


    a hypertext link, your browser send a request
    to a remote computer, called a web server, to
    download one or more files.

    Every URL is unique, identifying one specific file

    contains:
    Protocol://domain name/directory/file name

    9
    Suffixes / Extensions
