For example, you might be told that a file you need is located at <span class=\"s1\">files.hp.com<\/span>. That\u2019s a URI, not a URL\u2014and that system might very well respond to many protocols over many ports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you go to <span class=\"s1\">http:\/\/files.hp.com<\/span> you could conceivably get completely different content than if you go to <span class=\"s1\">ftp:\/\/files.hp.com<\/span>. And this type of thing is only getting more common. Think of all the different services that live on the various Google domains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, if you use <b>URI<\/b> you\u2019ll always be technically correct, and if you use <b>URL<\/b> you might not be. Finally, there is significant chatter around the term \u201cURL\u201d being\u2014or becoming\u2014deprecated. So URI is a fairly safe choice in terms of accuracy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a title=\"URL vs URI\" href=\"http:\/\/danielmiessler.com\/study\/url_vs_uri\/\" target=\"_blank\">URLs vs. URIs<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very helpful post by Daniel Miessler on URI vs. URL terminology.
