Answer 2

"A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a string of characters conforming to a standardized format, which refers to a resource on the Internet (such as a document or an image) by its location. For example, the URL of this page on Wikipedia is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator.

An HTTP URL, commonly called a web address, is usually shown in the address bar of a web browser.

The term is typically pronounced as either a spelled-out initialism ("yoo arr ell") or as an acronym (earl or ural as in the Ural Mountains).

Tim Berners-Lee created the URL in 1991 to allow the publishing of hyperlinks on the World Wide Web, a fundamental innovation in the history of the Internet. Since 1994, the URL has been subsumed into the more general Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), but URL is still a widely used term.

The U in URL has always stood for Uniform, but it is sometimes described as Universal, perhaps because URI did mean Universal Resource Identifier before RFC 2396." Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL
