We would not say "an" before this acronym (URL) because when we spell out the acronym, the first letter (U) sounds like the word "YOU". This does not begin with a vowel. It is not the actual letter that matters, it is how the letter sounds when you say it.

Yes, indeed.
Where have you seen "an URL"?
gauri_agr - Please note that the rule about using a or an depends on the sound, not the letter. URL starts with a Y sound.
