And yet some people are still repeating the question; others are still repeating the wrong answer.
I believe that it's "a" because we read URL like abbreviation of "Uniform Resource Locator" like /ju:ˌɑ:rˌəl/ here we've to say like a URL, but if we read it like one word like /ʌrl/, here we have to read it like an url. the rule of a, an is according to sounds not letters.
a university. /ˌjuːnɪˈvɜːsəti/
an umbrella, /ʌmˈbrelə/
