It's called an URL, Uniform Resource Locator, with optional parameters.
The entry field is also known as the URL bar, or navigation toolbar.
Its length is defined by the limitations of the browser, the http
server, and underlying OS. For instance, linux has (or once had) a command
line length limit of 1024 characters. Other OSes range from 256 to 4096.
