 Uniform Resource Locator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Uniform Resource Locator, URL (properly pronounced as a spelled-out initialism, not syllabalized as 'earl'), or Web address, is a standardized address name layout for resources (such as documents or images) on the Internet (or elsewhere).
Every URL is a type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), or more precisely the set of URLs is a proper subset of URIs.
The URLs employed by HTTP, the protocol used to transmit web pages, are the most popular kind of URI and can be used as an example to demonstrate the concept of the URI.

 MSN Encarta - URL
URL (Uniform Resource Locator), an address that points to a particular document or other resource on the Internet, used most frequently on the World Wide Web (WWW).
For example, the URL for the main page of the White House Web site is http://www.whitehouse.gov. The first part of the URL, the part before the colon, represents the scheme, or protocol, used to retrieve the document.
URLs are case-sensitive, which means that uppercase and lowercase letters are considered different letters, so a user has to enter a URL with all letters in the correct case.

 RFC 1738 (rfc1738) - Uniform Resource Locators (URL)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In general, URLs are written as follows: : A URL contains the name of the scheme being used () followed by a colon and then a string (the ) whose interpretation depends on the scheme.
A file URL takes the form: file:/// where is the fully qualified domain name of the system on which the is accessible, and is a hierarchical directory path of the form //.../.
In such cases, it is convenient to have a separate syntactic wrapper that delimits the URL and separates it from the rest of the text, and in particular from punctuation marks that might be mistaken for part of the URL.

 Java 2 Platform SE v1.3.1: Class URL
A URL can optionally specify a "port", which is the port number to which the TCP connection is made on the remote host machine.
A URL may have appended to it a "fragment", also known as a "ref" or a "reference".
Two URL objects are equal if they have the same protocol and reference the same host, the same port number on the host, and the same file and anchor on the host.

 URL Encoding
URLs use some characters for special use in defining their syntax.
This is used in URLs to indicate where a fragment identifier (bookmarks/anchors in HTML) begins.
URL encoding of a character consists of a "%" symbol, followed by the two-digit hexadecimal representation (case-insensitive) of the ISO-Latin code point for the character.

It’s hard to imagine a world without it, and it’s hard to remember that there was once a time when not having a uniform means of locating resources was considered a fundamental stumbling block to the deployment of any large-scale hypertext system — never mind a world-wide one.
These days, our URLs are loaded down with something very similar: long strings of characters that exist only to satisfy some technical constraint, detracting from the effectiveness of our URLs as communication tools.
In case the URL didn’t tip you off — over and over and over — this is a story from the Business section.

 An example HTML document
It is sometimes possible to construct a URL such that an attempt to perform a seemingly harmless, idempotent operation, such as the retrieval of an entity associated with the resource, will in fact cause a possibly damaging remote operation to occur.
In particular, the use of a password within the 'userinfo' component of a URL is strongly disrecommended except in those rare cases where the 'password' parameter is intended to be public.
The prefix "URL:" (with or without a trailing space) was recommended as a way to used to help distinguish a URL from other bracketed designators, although this is not common in practice.

 Web Naming and Addressing Overview (URIs, URLs, ...)
When embedded within a base document, a URL in its absolute form may contain a great deal of information which is already known from the context of that base document's retrieval, including the scheme, network location, and parts of the url-path.
In situations where the base URL is well-defined and known to the parser (human or machine), it is useful to be able to embed URL references which inherit that context rather than re-specifying it in every instance.
This one is ratified as an IETF proposed standard, and it discusses each of the URL schemes (known at that time), but its grammar has some mistakes, and it doesn't cover several aspects of URL syntax, such as relative URLs and fragment identifiers
