A URL consists of a protocol specifier, a host specifier and a file and path specifier:</p> <p id="par_id3149121" class="paragraph" dir="auto"> <span class="emph">protocol</span>://<span class="emph">host.name</span>/<span class="emph">path/to/the/file.html</span> </p> <p id="par_id3168612" class="paragraph" dir="auto">The most common usage of URLs is on the internet when specifying web pages. Example for protocols are <span class="emph">http</span>, <span class="emph">ftp</span>, or <span class="emph">file</span>. The <span class="emph">file</span> protocol specifier is used when referring to a file on the local file system.</p> <p id="par_id3150324" class="paragraph" dir="auto">URL notation does not allow certain special characters to be used. These are either replaced by other characters or encoded. A slash (<span class="emph">/</span>) is used as a path separator. For example, a file referred to as <span class="emph">C:\Users\alice\Documents\My File.odt</span> on the local host in "Windows notation" becomes <span class="emph">file:///C:/Users/alice/Documents/My%20File.odt</span> in URL notation.</p> </div> <div id="DonationFrame"></div> <footer><div id="DEBUG" class="debug"> <h3 class="bug">Help content debug info:</h3> <p dir="auto">This page is: <a href="https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/help/source/text/sbasic/shared/00000002.xhp" target="_blank">/text/sbasic/shared/00000002.xhp</a></p> <p dir="auto">Title is: $[officename] Basic Glossary</p> <p id="bm_module" dir="auto"></p> <p id="bm_system" dir="auto"></p> <p id="bm_HID" dir="auto"></p> </div></footer> </body> </html>
