Description
The uniform resource locator (URL) is a data structure and an associated serialization format that aims to uniquely identify any resource on the Internet (and other networks). (See also uniform resource identifier (URI).) That’s a lofty goal, but it has proven more or less tractable and practical. Which is astounding and great! A global network namespace enables powerful applications, and powerful interactions between applications.
However, URLs have some problems of usability, security, and economics. Many of us have wished for a global namespace with fewer problems. I’ll address that first, and then I’ll have some fun with the technical aspects of the problem. You can skip that stuff, if you like.
