I don't think it will have a url unless you upload it to Dropbox etc

If you need to share a photo with just one person or a group you'd probably be better off just emailing it to them. If you have something that isn't too personal or private there are free image hosting sites like Imgur, where you can upload photos and get a url links you can pass along to whoever.

As funkylogic already replied, if you've got a Dropbox account (or similar online syncing/storage services like SpiderOak or OneDrive) set up and linked to your phone you could share files that way, in essence you're never sharing your files directly from your phone but from the copied, duplicate file stored on Dropbox's servers. Dropbox is giving you a url link to your photo and everything is being handled by Dropbox's web services. Also, sharing photos via services like G+, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are an option but again, nothing is being shared directly off of your phone, it's all working through some remote server(s) in another state or country. Theoretically running a web server off of your phone would require a massive battery since it could never be dormant or sleeping, plus the 'always connected online' aspect of any web server would mean the 'data' part of your monthly phone bill would definitely be significant. (well at least here in the U.S. where our telecom industry has redefined the word 'unlimited' to actually mean 'data capped').
