Universal Resource Locators

By Scott T Boyd, Editor

If there’s something you’d like to see here, please drop us a note at editorial@xplain.com.

In case you’re not familiar with Universal Resource Locator (URL) format, it’s essentially

<servicekind>://<servername>/<pathname>.

That’s a bit of an oversimplification (e.g. the path can be far more interesting), but it should be enough to you started.
