Another expression for "/" is VIRGULE, but not so popular as SLASH.

backslash for "\".

back slash or backward slash is only used in dos I think.

forward slash is unix based, as is the internet for the most part so you see it in the address line or in the url, uniform resource locator

 so :

http colon forward slash forward slash  works for me.
