About

URL Helper

Features
Read full description

Entering URLs isn't really fun. Most of the time only the domain name varies while the rest consists of standard parts with a lot of special characters which are error prone to enter. This application makes it easy and fast to enter even complex URLs correctly, especially for non HTTP protocols. It has separate fields for the protocol, subdomain, domain, top level domain, port, path and fragment part (#) of a URL.
