Why do we use qualifying prefixes in URLs (Universal Resource Link):

As of December 2024, there are 1,591 different domain extensions on the Internet. These include:

1,249 generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as .com and .net.

316 country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), such as .nl and .de.

10 test domains, used for testing and development only.

1 infrastructure domain (.arpa), used exclusively for technical network infrastructure management.

So, you either make url out of any dot separated strings, or die trying 😂🤣😂

Fun fact, is that domain names are case insensitive.So if you forget to put space after period, you’ll create a url in dumb and naive clients 🤣😂🤣

it's "universal resource locator"

the network address is either DNS or IP address, and it comes between the protocol:// and the path /path/to/something.jpg it's an extension of the UNIX path syntax and originated in unix with stuff like gopher and ssh and ftp - http protocol came later.

then you have parameters, which come afterwards ?like=this&like=that

then there is HTTP headers, which are a list of key/values used to set protocol modes

URI means Universal Resource Identifier and doesn't necessarily have a network address as the second parameter. they can be parsed the same way as they also follow the rule [a-zA-Z0-9\-.]+ and can include parameters (this is how NWC connection strings are structured).

technically, a URL is a type of URI, that is essentially a (networked) filesystem and parameter syntax.

also, i want MOAR TLDs. wen .nostr
