URL is the acronym for Uniform Resource Locator. A reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. URLs consist of two mandatory fields, (a) type of resource such as https
for webpages, ftps
for file transfers, mailto
for emails, etc., and (b) hostname, as well as of optional (c) one or more submomains and (d) a file name, if any.
Syntax
According to the Business Insider, Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee once said about the double slash in URLs,
Really, if you think about it, it doesn't need the //. I could have designed it not to have the //.
Sir Tim created the World Wide Web, HTML, DNS, and URL.
