Two types of URL
Absolute URL - the full path
Relative URL - sort of shortcut path
These are all the features of a url.
Note that it doesn't need to use all of them for the url to work
Scheme --- Host-Domain --- Path --- Fragment
User --- Port --- Query String

URL parameters:
GET requests encode data in the URL sent to the server
by adding name/value pairs onto the end of the link
For example
http://example.com?name=Fred&age=11.
URL parameters are inherently "insecure" as they can be changed by users and then resubmitted.
As a result URL parameters/GET requests are not used for requests that update data on the server.
