About

http is a system of URL.

A URL when requested returns a response 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.
