WMLScript » Functions » URL
The URL Library contains fourteen functions designed to manipulate URLs. For example, these functions can be used to return specific information about relative and absolute URLs, handle escape characters, create absolute URLs, and validate a URL syntax.
The syntax of a URL is: scheme://host:port/path;parameters$query#fragment
You can use the following functions to get the various portions of the URL:

| scheme | getScheme(url) |
| host | getHost(url) |
| port | getPort(url) |
| path | getPath(url) |
| parameters | getParameters(url) |
