This may be very surprising to programmers used to working with traditional web frameworks! In Ur/Web, we avoid writing URLs explicitly wherever possible.

The <tt>.urp</tt> file for this demo shows an example that specifies particular rules about which URLs are allowed. You can try entering a variety of URLs on the form on the front page.
