If you're going to write a mile-long article about the URL, at least get the details correct. The leftmost part of a URL is not the "protocol". It is called the "scheme". The scheme doesn't tell you "the protocol which should be used to access it", it tells you how to interpret the remainder of the URL.

Except HTTP stands for “HyperText Transfer Protocol
There's nothing in "data" or "file" that stands for /Protocol/.
