The web browser will request the web page from the web server with the URL. The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is used to determine the address of a document (or other data) on the network. A web address like https://quantrimang.com/html/ will follow the syntax rules as follows.

 scheme://prefix.domain:port/path/filename

URL encoding

URLs can only be transferred via the Internet using ASCII encoded character sets. If there are non-ASCII characters contained, the URL will be converted. URL encoding will convert non-ASCII characters to another format for transfer over the Internet, replacing these characters with '%' and followed by decimal digits.

The URL cannot contain spaces, usually the encryption process will replace the white space with a plus sign (+) or% 20.

ASCII coding examples

Depending on the character set used on the page, the browser will encrypt the input. The default HTML5 character set is UTF-8.
