About
http is a system of URL.
A URL when requested returns always a content resource (document) with a media type.
Characteristic
As a file system:
- a document can be seen as a file with its URL as path.
- http does not have the notion of directory and therefore cannot be traversed as a file tree system, therefore the glob selections are not available.
- A URL has a hierarchical structure where we can give a parent to a document.
