Uri

Q: How deeply does The Well-Grounded Python Developer: How the pros use Python and Flask cover uri?

Explains domains, DNS translation, ports, paths, and server routing through a concrete HTTP request.

As explained in The Well-Grounded Python Developer: How the pros use Python and Flask

A URL is an address that identifies a resource or logical location accessible through a network protocol.

A URL (uniform resource locator) uniquely identifies what a client requests from a server. Its domain name is translated by DNS into an IP address, while its slash-separated path identifies a logical resource. section 6.3

A URL can identify more than a website name:

The domain distinguishes servers, such as myserver.com and myserver.net. section 6.3
The port selects a service; HTTP commonly defaults to port 80 but can use another available port. section 6.3
The path presents a hierarchy that can map to a file, a handler, or an error response. section 6.3

A URL in an HTTP request

GET /path_part/index.html HTTP/1.1 requests the resource at the given path from fictional_website.com on port 80. The server can return a file, handler output, or error. section 6.3
