URI

A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a string of characters in a particular syntax that identifies a resource. The resource identified may be a file on a server, but it may also be an email address, a news message, a book, a person's name, an Internet host, the current stock price of Sun Microsystems, or something else. An absolute URI is made up of a scheme for the URI and a scheme-specific part, separated by a colon, like this:

scheme:scheme-specific-part

 URL

A URL identifies the location of a resource on the Internet. It specifies the protocol used to access a server (e.g., FTP, HTTP), the name of the server, and the location of a file on that server. A typical URL looks like http://www.ibiblio.org/javafaq/javatutorial.html. This specifies that there is a file called javatutorial.html in a directory called javafaq on the server www.ibiblio.org, and that this file can be accessed via the HTTP protocol. The syntax of a URL is:

protocol://username@hostname:port/path/filename?query#fragment
