DOES THE HTTP STUFF MEAN SOMETHING OR IS IT JUST GIBBERISH?
It does, and if you know the code, you can use it to help you find a site you might be interested in. Http://www. Http stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. This is just the way the information travels over the web; www is for world wide web. Say you wanted to find Disney’s site. Just add the company name to the most likely beginning. http://www.disney.com. The .com means it’s a company. A non-profit organization would be .org; .edu for educational institution, .mil for military and .gov for government. Montclair State’s site would be http://www.montclair.edu. Sometimes you’ll see an address with forward slashes following the actual address. This is a webpage inside the website, like a chapter in a book. For example, the World Wildlife Fund indexes the topics covered about Endangered Species at their site: http://www.worldwildlife.
