URL : 3 MINUTES POUR COMPRENDRE

Discover in 3 minutes (7 minutes this time) what a URL is and how it is structured. I'll explain each element of an internet address in simple terms. Design and production: Sébastien HOFF ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chapters: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 Credits 00:38 The HTTP protocol 01:24 A URL in detail 02:27 And after the domain name? 04:24 Beware of links full of marketing parameters! 06:02 Allowed and prohibited characters in a URL 06:44 Conclusion ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Learning supplements ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Technical sources RFC 3986 – Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html... AFNIC – Who can register a .fr domain? https://www.afnic.fr/produire-statist... Mozilla Developer Network – URL (API and structure) https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs... CNIL – The HTTPS protocol and secure communications https://www.cnil.fr/fr/le-protocole-h... 💡 Note for the more curious: A URL is actually a type of URI (Uniform Resource Identifier), a standard identifier used to designate a resource on the internet. Complete structure of a URL Here is the complete structure according to the technical standard: schema://user:password@host:port/path?request#fragment Implicit ports in a URL A URL can contain a port number, which indicates which server "port" to connect to. For example: https://www.mysite.com/blog/article actually hides a more technical URL like: https://www.mysite.com/index.php?type... This mechanism is called URL rewriting: the web server (or a framework) transforms the user-readable URL into an "internal" URL used by the site. Advantages: • It's easier for the user to read, • It's better for SEO, • It hides the technical structure of the site. Rewriting is often done via files like .htaccess on an Apache server, or via routes defined in frameworks like Laravel, Django, or Express.js. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Technical and educational targets ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Target device(s): TABLET and MOBILE COMPUTER Required user level: beginner Technical prerequisites: none ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Contact Channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Channel contact, product testing, and partnerships: [email protected] Demonstrations are performed on: • a Windows 10 PRO PC • a Windows 11 PRO laptop • a Samsung ZFLIP3 phone with the basic version of Android 13 • a Samsung TAB S7+ tablet with the basic version of Android 13 • a CROSS CALL CORE T4 tablet Important: This video is not part of any commercial agreement.
