   Thank you for your feature proposal.

   We marked it as "waiting for user interest" for now to gather some feedback from our community:

   • If you would like to see this feature be implemented, please react to the description with an up-vote (:+1:).
   • If you have a suggestion or want to point out some special cases that need to be considered, please leave a comment, so we are aware about them.

   We would also like to hear about other community members' use cases for the feature to give us a better understanding of their potential implicit or explicit requirements.

   We will start the implementation based on:

   • the number of votes ( 👍 ) and comments
   • the relevance for the ecosystem
   • availability of alternatives and workarounds
   • and the complexity of the requested feature

   We do this because:

   • There are plenty of languages/countries out there and we would like to ensure that every method can cover all or almost all of them.
   • Every feature we add to faker has "costs" associated to it:
     • initial costs: design, implementation, reviews, documentation
     • running costs: awareness of the feature itself, more complex module structure, increased bundle size, more work during refactors

   i think we could use localized fake patterns to make this more realistic for web content, mixing in various patterns, depths, numbers, querystrings etc

   [
     '/',
     '/{{word.sample}}',
     '/{{word.sample}}/',
     '/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}',
     '/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}/',
     '/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}',
     '/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}',
     '/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}/{{word.sample}}',
     '/api/v{{number.int({ "min": 1, "max": 9 })}}/{{word.noun}}/{{string.uuid}}',
     '/categories/{{commerce.product}}/items',
     '/assets/img/{{system.commonFileName("png")}}',
     '/downloads/{{word.sample}}/{{system.commonFileName()}}',
     '/{{word.sample}}/index.html',
     '/users/{{internet.username}}/profile',
     '/u/{{number.int({ "min": 1000, "max": 9999 })}}/settings/security',
     '/account/billing/invoices/{{string.alphanumeric({ "length": 12, "casing": "upper" })}}',
     '/search?q={{word.sample}}&page={{number.int({ "min": 1, "max": 10 })}}',
     '/filter?category={{commerce.department}}&sort=desc',
     '/track?utm_source={{word.sample}}&utm_medium=email',
   ]

   I like the idea, but this would make it hard to implement arbritary depth parameters. Also ?... does not belong to the path.

   We could use url_path_words/patterns to store common chains though:

   [
   ['api', 'v{{number.int}}' ],
   ...
   ]

   yeah that makes sense, you could have a variety of localized pathSegments, and then join together a random number of them with slashes.

   also once we have this working, we could extend faker.internet.url to optionally add a path
