The Basics
Welcome, young adventurer, to the mystical realm of the internet! As you embark on your first browsing session, you'll encounter mysterious creatures known as URLs. These cryptic codes contain secrets to the hidden treasures of the web.
A URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is the key to unlocking the wonders of the online realm. It's like a treasure map, but instead of pointing to a chest overflowing with gold, it leads to a website filled with cat pictures.
The Structure of a URL
A URL is made up of several parts, each with its own tale to tell. Let's break it down:
- Protocol
- Dominated by the Protocol
- Host Name
- Paws-itive Port Numbers
- The Prefix
- The Path
- Queries and Questioning
- Fragments and Fractals
And that's not all, folks! There's more to explore, more to discover, and more to... well, not lose in the vast expanse of the internet.
