What is the way of retrieving information from the Internet? what is the URL of website?

Answer 1

IP Helper provides information retrieval capabilities that are useful for the network administration of the local computer. The following functions retrieve statistics for the Internet Protocol (IP) and the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). You can also use these functions to set certain configuration parameters for IP.

The GetIpStatistics function retrieves the current IP statistics for the local computer. For code samples involving GetIpStatistics see Retrieving Information Using GetIpStatistics.

The GetIcmpStatistics function retrieves the current ICMP statistics.

Use the SetIpStatistics function to enable or disable IP forwarding. This function also makes it possible for you to set the default time-to-live (TTL) for IP datagrams. Alternatively, you can set the TTL by using the SetIpTTL function.

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), it is the web address of a website is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier(URI),[2] although many people use the two terms interchangeably.
URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages (http), but are also used for file transfer , email , database access and many other applications.

Most web browsers display the URL of a web page above the page in an address bar. A typical URL could have the form http://www.example.com/index.html, which indicates a protocol (http), a hostname(www.example.com), and a file name (index.html).
