Exploring URLs in Practice

To gain a comprehensive understanding of URL structure, let's dissect a real-world example:

• https:// - specifies the HTTPS protocol, ensuring secure data transfer;
• vitali.com/ - The host component identifies the domain or website where the resource is located;
• razor/3r2xe2fs - The path signifies the precise location within the web application;
• ? - The question mark denotes the start of the query string;
• cat=sharp&stat=left - is the query string;
  • cat=sharp - represents a parameter-value pair with cat being the parameter and its corresponding value (sharp);
  • stat=left - represents a parameter-value pair with stat being the parameter and its corresponding value (left);
  • & - The ampersand symbol is a separator, distinguishing between multiple parameters within the query string.
• #chars - is the fragment, anchor to the specific section on the page.
