You can check out each module individually by using the URL path from the right column with " svn checkout ". You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser.

U niform R esource L ocator The address that defines the route to a file on an Internet server Web server, mail server, etc. URLs are typed into a Web browser to access Web pages and files, and URLs are embedded within the pages themselves as links see hypertext.
The URL contains the protocol prefix, port number, domain name, subdirectory names and file name. URLs can be redirected or forwarded to a different URL in several ways, the most common of which are permanent and temporary.
URLs can also be shortened by activating a shortening service that uses a redirect on a short-named domain. This is particularly useful in case of lengthy URLs containing many queries.

When you want to visit the site, you simply open your web browser and type that URL into the address field. A specific page on that website would have a longer URL. The web page is the "resource" that your browser is "locating" for you with a URL. A URL is also called a web address because it works like a house address.
You can use a house address to find the location of a friend's home or store you want to visit. Your browser uses a URL to tell it where to go to find the web page you want to visit.
Internet address is another synonym for URL. URLs are meant to be easy for people to remember and to use. However, computers need information presented to them in a different way. Your web browser finds web pages using an IP , or Internet Protocol.
The IP is a series of numbers, which look something like: Imagine if you had to remember a number like that for every website that you wanted to visit. The internet would not have become so popular if that were the case! Furthermore, not every site has a static , or permanent, IP.
Some IPs change on a regular basis, which would make it nearly impossible to go directly to the websites you want to visit. So instead of trying to memorize IPs, we use URLs, which generally stay the same and make sense to our brains.
The first part of the URL is the scheme , which indicates the protocol that the browser must use to request the resouce a protocol is a set method for exchanging or transferring data around a computer network. Addressing web pages requires one of these two, but browsers also know how to handle other schemes such as mailto: to open a mail client , so don't be surprised if you see other protocols.
If present the authority includes both the domain e. One example of a URL that doesn't use an authority is the mail client mailto:foobar. It contains a scheme but doesn't use an authority component. Therefore, the colon is not followed by two slashes and only acts as a delimiter between the scheme and mail address.
In the early days of the Web, a path like this represented a physical file location on the Web server. Nowadays, it is mostly an abstraction handled by Web servers without any physical reality. The Web server can use those parameters to do extra stuff before returning the resource. Each Web server has its own rules regarding parameters, and the only reliable way to know if a specific Web server is handling parameters is by asking the Web server owner. SomewhereInTheDocument is an anchor to another part of the resource itself.
An anchor represents a sort of "bookmark" inside the resource, giving the browser the directions to show the content located at that "bookmarked" spot. On an HTML document, for example, the browser will scroll to the point where the anchor is defined; on a video or audio document, the browser will try to go to the time the anchor represents.
