In this example, the URL is the tag, and the contents of the web page is the datum.

Companies that make products that selectively block Web sites do not refer to these products as censorware, and prefer terms such as " Internet filter " or " URL Filter "; in the specialized case of software specifically designed to allow parents to monitor and restrict the access of their children, " parental control software " is also used.

In practice this means that even on a correctly configured web server eavesdroppers can still infer the IP address and port number of the web server ( sometimes even the domain name e. g. www. example. org, but not rest of the URL ) that one is communicating with as well as the amount ( data transferred ) and duration ( length of session ) of the communication, though not the content of the communication.

Since most wiki systems use URLs for individual pages where the page's title appears at the end of an otherwise unchanging address, the simplest way of defining such mappings is by substituting the interwiki prefix for the unchanging part of the URL.

This is denoted in LDAP URLs by using the URL scheme " ldaps ".

There is a similar non-standard URL scheme for LDAP over SSL.

If the LDAP server is also named ldap. example. org, the organization's top level LDAP URL becomes.

It is also possible to specify an alternative URL and use this technique in order to redirect the user to a different location.

In computing, a uniform resource locator ( URL ) is a specific character string that constitutes a reference to an Internet resource.

A URL is technically a type of uniform resource identifier ( URI ) but in many technical documents and verbal discussions URL is often used as a synonym for URI.

* The domain name portion of a URL is not case sensitive since DNS ignores case: < tt >< nowiki > http :// en. example. org /</ nowiki ></ tt > and < tt >< nowiki > HTTP :// EN. EXAMPLE. ORG /</ nowiki ></ tt > both open the same page.

If the port number is omitted for an http: URL, the browser will connect on port 80, the default HTTP port.

If the server is case sensitive and < tt >< nowiki > http :// en. example. org / wiki / URL </ nowiki ></ tt > is correct, < tt >< nowiki > http :// en. example. org / WIKI / URL </ nowiki ></ tt > or < tt >< nowiki > http :// en. example. org / wiki / url </ nowiki ></ tt > will display an HTTP 404 error page, unless these URLs point to valid resources themselves.

The importance of a page is a function of its intrinsic quality, its popularity in terms of links or visits, and even of its URL ( the latter is the case of vertical search engines restricted to a single top-level domain, or search engines restricted to a fixed Web site ).

There is a URL server that sends lists of URLs to be fetched by several crawling processes.

For a static request the URL path specified by the client is relative to the web server's root directory.

A free client-side URL transfer library, supporting FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, Telnet, DICT, the file URI scheme, LDAP, LDAPS, IMAP, POP3, SMTP and RTSP.

The internal URI for a Wikipedia article named Example, which is < code >< nowiki > http :// en. wikipedia. org / w / index. php? title = Example </ nowiki ></ code >, is generated by its Rewrite engine from the more human-readable external URL, < code >< nowiki > http :// en. wikipedia. org / wiki / Example </ nowiki ></ code >.

Indeed, the Internet employs several universally applicable naming methods: uniform resource name ( URN ), uniform resource locator ( URL ), and uniform resource identifier ( URI ).

A persistent uniform resource locator ( PURL ) is a Uniform Resource Locator ( URL ) ( i. e. location-based Uniform Resource Identifier or URI ) that is used to redirect to the location of the requested Web resource.

PURLs are used to curate the URL resolution process, thus solving the problem of transitory URIs in location-based URI schemes like HTTP.

Typically, the URI chosen for the namespace of a given XML vocabulary describes a resource under the control of the author or organization defining the vocabulary, such as a URL for the author's Web server.

Percent-encoding, also known as URL encoding, is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier ( URI ) under certain circumstances.

Although it is known as URL encoding it is, in fact, used more generally within the main Uniform Resource Identifier ( URI ) set, which includes both Uniform Resource Locator ( URL ) and Uniform Resource Name ( URN ).

For example, forward slash characters are used to separate different parts of a URL ( or more generally, a URI ).

URI schemes are frequently and incorrectly referred to as " protocols ", or specifically as URI protocols or URL protocols, since most were originally designed to be used with a particular protocol, and often have the same name.

In addition, the URL is commonly shown in the status bar.

In addition, some XOOPS modules create duplicate content by making the same information available on more than one URL while in other cases ( especially in case of multilingual sites ), several sets of content may be made available through the same URL.

When copying an external link from the preview into the edit summary box then, depending on the operating system, the " printable version " is copied, i. e. how it is normally rendered, and in addition, between parentheses, the URL ; hence the same information as in the wikitext, but in a different format, as well as a possible sequential number.

In addition to this rather liberal approach to the base material, his site actively encourages its visitors to create CDs for friends that might appreciate — the site actually states "... might be blessed ..."— a custom Don Francisco and Friends CD, with the limits against sale and so forth and the simple requirement that the website URL be written on each CD.

The unique URL is used as a tracking ID, so that the image host can identify exactly what message intended for what specific recipient has been viewed, in addition to the date and host accessing the image.

ROX has a strong link with Zero Install, a method of identifying and executing programs via a URL, to make software installation completely automatic.

The tag may specify a URL to a CGI script on the ad server, including a string uniquely identifying the site producing the traffic, and possibly other information about the person viewing the ad, previously collected and associated with a cookie.

The key identifying the given site is designated from the URL, so if, for example, there is a session defined within the URL, then the proxy will not work effectively.

# The URL of the bug can be appended with an arbitrary string in various ways while still identifying the same object ; this extra information can be used to better identify the conditions under which the bug has been loaded, and can be added while sending the page or by JavaScript scripts after the download.

Because vanity domains are operated for or on behalf of individuals, they typically will not offer the full complement of services an organisational domain name ( or rather, the host that it points to ) would be expected to honour ; for example, the DNS record may contain only an MX record identifying a mail server accepting e-mail for that domain ( which may itself be an e-mail forwarding server ) and an A record identifying a shared web hosting service only offering HTTP ( which may itself be a URL redirection service ).

To avoid making numerous HEAD requests, a crawler may examine the URL and only request a resource if the URL ends with certain characters such as. html,. htm,. asp,. aspx,. php,. jsp,. jspx or a slash.

Crawlers usually perform some type of URL normalization in order to avoid crawling the same resource more than once.

Link awareness is defined as the ability to discover, view, search and update global hyperlink information about any resource with a URL on the World Wide Web.

In 2007, after resource allocation problems with Texas A & M, the ISFDB became independently hosted on a hired server at the URL listed above.

On the Web, a URL address identifies a globally accessible resource.

XML signatures can be used to sign data – a resource – of any type, typically XML documents, but anything that is accessible via a URL can be signed.

* Slug ( web publishing ) a user-and SEO-friendly short text used in a URL to identify and describe a resource

PURLs allow third party control over both URL resolution and resource metadata provision.

A URL is simply an address of a resource on the World Wide Web.

A Persistent URL is an address on the World Wide Web that causes a redirection to another Web resource.

If a Web resource changes location ( and hence URL ), a PURL pointing to it can be updated.
