Ever Wonder How a URI Works?

The Internet Explorer Blog explains: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/08/15/452006.aspx

Did you know that:

A URI consists of multiple components, each of which helps the browser and server to retrieve the requested file.

For example, given the URI http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=ie7#listings

  • The scheme component is http
  • The hostname component is search.msn.com
  • The path component is /results.aspx
  • The query component is q=ie7
  • The fragment component is listings

The following URIs are all equivalent:

  • http://www.example.com/sample/
  • http://www.EXAMPLE.com/sample/#
  • Http://www.ex%41mple.com/s%61mple/
  • http://www.example.com/sample/arbitrary/.%2e/
