ipgeolocation.io API - should be in the article as well - cheers
You are right.

12 - Rank 318

21 - Rank 523

I'm surprised that '12' is so low on the list.

No love for Test-NetConnection (TNC) in Powershell or Netcat (nc -vz)?

Hello, author here, thank you for your feedback.

> Fragment identifiers are not sent to the server.

I've not stated that this is the case, but I might add a note, that this is the case.

> query example should have both ? and & like > ?foo=1&bar=2&baz=3

The `&` is only needed if you have multiple parameters like in the Youtube example, or am I getting it wrong?

> Perhaps behind the path/to/whatever have a /filename.XXX

This is an example for a path without explicit resource as most servers would provide an `index.html` file by default in this case. I might add a note to clarify it.

> Also, the story on the www "subdomain" is missing.

Story, as in history?

Hello, author here: thank you for your feedback!

In general, I've removed the notes in the brackets and either added more context and examples or integrated it into the text.

> Scheme: (always present, not always visible)

Added more context.

> Path: (always present)

You are right, the root directory `/` is implied. Added this as an example.

> It is recommended to place IPv4 and IPv6 addresses into brackets:

Correct, my bad. I've added more examples and the note, that it is required to put IPv6 addresses into square brackets.

> Host: (always present, not always visible)

Been a while so I am not sure what I meant. I've made some changes and added more examples.

Again, thank you!

Done. Thanks for the feedback. Desktop simulation didn't catch that.
