output.
-A scheme. The scheme identifies the protocol to be used to access the resource
on the Internet. It can be HTTP (without SSL) or HTTPS (with SSL).
-A host. The host name identifies the host that holds the resource. For

host, but there is not a one-to-one mapping between hosts and servers. Host
names explains more about host names.
Host names can also be followed by a port number. Port numbers explains
more about these. Well-known port numbers for a service are normally
omitted from the URL. Most servers use the well-known port numbers for
HTTP and HTTPS , so most HTTP URLs omit the port number.

client wants to access. For example, /software/htp/cics/index.html.
