06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1csliveAddresses on the Web are expressed with URLs - Uniform Resource Locators
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive- which specify a protocol (e.g. <code>http</code>), a servername (e.g.
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive<code>/docs/current/getting-started.html</code>), and possibly a query
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslivestring (e.g. <code>?arg=value</code>) used to pass additional
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslivearguments to the server.
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive<p>A client (e.g., a web browser) connects to a server (e.g., your Apache HTTP Server),
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslivewith the specified protocol, and makes a <strong>request</strong> for a resource using the
5bf90772244e08b493f008381645dd3704417d40yoshikiURL-path.</p>
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive<p>The URL-path may represent any number of things on the server. It may
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslivebe a file (like <code>getting-started.html</code>) a handler (like <a
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslivehref="mod/mod_status.html">server-status</a>) or some kind of program
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslivefile (like <code>index.php</code>). We'll discuss this more below in
