Definition:

A URL beginning with http:// or https:// . Pronounced "esh" (the 15th letter of the Etruscan alphabet), it may be followed by a literal DNS domain name, a variable domain name, or (no domain) a URL pathname beginning with "/". The plural form is πes. As a verb, it means to transform an identifier into an actionable π.

Examples:

When actionability is unimportant, π/foo is a compact way to write and pronounce https://www.example.org/foo . Distinct web servers πA and πB represent two web namespaces. Legacy, pre-Internet identifiers can often be πed by adding suitable prefix strings, promoting them to actionable, globally unique identifiers. The π symbol is suggested by drawing the individual letters of "HTTPS" on top of each other (superimposing them).
