I decided to figure out how many times I could fit my name “Feross” in one URL, with each “Feross” serving a different function. Here is my result:
http://feross.feross.org/feross/feross.feross?feross=feross#feross
If you remove a single “feross” from the URL, then you fail and don’t get to see the secret stuff hidden at this location!
Can you name all the feross’s?
Every one serves a different function in the URL.
In order, they are:
- subdomain
- domain name
- TLD – top level domain (technically, there isn’t a .feross …yet!)
- folder
- file name
- file extension
- “get” parameter
- “get” value
- URL anchor (or hash)
Yay for procrastination! Ok, back to studying for finals!
