00:00:07,970 --> 00:00:14,850
Welcome back. Let's talk about a particular URL structure that's very common.

2
00:00:14,850 --> 00:00:19,725
We're going to talk about what happens after the slash.

3
00:00:19,725 --> 00:00:25,020
A very common format is to have some path name,

4
00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:32,265
in this case just slash list and then we have the character question mark.

5
00:00:32,265 --> 00:00:34,515
After the question mark,

6
00:00:34,515 --> 00:00:38,860
we get query parameters.

7
00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:50,300
So, as before we have a protocol https,

8
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:51,650
we have a host,

9
00:00:51,650 --> 00:00:57,365
in this case events.umich.edu and then we have the arguments,

10
00:00:57,365 --> 00:00:59,820
everything after the slash.

11
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:08,740
Any web server gets to decide what format or arguments it's willing to accept,

12
00:01:08,740 --> 00:01:10,560
but this is a very common one,

13
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,785
where you'll have some path name and then question mark and then these query parameters.

14
00:01:16,785 --> 00:01:24,020
These query parameters are very often formatted in these key equals value.

15
00:01:24,020 --> 00:01:26,205
Key equals value.

16
00:01:26,205 --> 00:01:28,605
So, we have two of these keys.

17
00:01:28,605 --> 00:01:36,090
One key is called filter and the other one is called range.

18
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:44,470
The value of filter is tags: Art,

19
00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:54,010
and the range has the value 2018-10-01, October 1st, 2018.

20
00:01:54,290 --> 00:01:58,460
The server is going to interpret this request as

21
00:01:58,460 --> 00:02:01,640
a request to search on the server to find

22
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:09,050
out those events that are happening on 2018 or beginning in October 1st,

23
00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:14,130
2018 and that somehow are tagged with the word art.

24
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:17,230
If we visit that URL,

25
00:02:17,230 --> 00:02:22,790
the web server is interpreting the request as a query and it is

26
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:25,100
returning Information just about

27
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:30,355
artistic activities that are happening around campus starting on October 1st.

28
00:02:30,355 --> 00:02:32,030
You can see some of

29
00:02:32,030 --> 00:02:34,820
the interesting artistic things that are happening

30
00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:37,640
especially in the university hospitals,

31
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,090
but also elsewhere around campus.

32
00:02:40,090 --> 00:02:45,220
This URL structure, where we have as arguments,

33
00:02:45,220 --> 00:02:49,610
a path and then a question mark and key equals value pairs,

34
00:02:49,610 --> 00:02:52,850
this is a very common URL pattern and one that we'll be

35
00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:58,235
using in our coming lessons to write programs that fetch data from the internet.

36
00:02:58,235 --> 00:03:00,780
We'll see you next time.
