H T M L 1 0 1 - URLs--UNIFORM RESOURCE
LOCATORS
URLs represent a standardized addressing scheme for Internet resources,
and help users locate these resources by indicating exactly where
they are. Every resource available via the World Wide Web has a
unique URL. URLs consist of letters, numbers, and punctuation.
The basic structure of a URL is hierarchical, and the hierarchy
moves from left to right, for example:
http://www.law.suffolk.edu/academic/jd/method.cfm
URLs also apply to resources other than web pages, for example,
you can use it to telnet to the library catalog to search for books
or to Pine to read your email:
telnet://library.suffolk.edu
Or FTP files to or from a server:
ftp://ftp.netscape.com
