hi

instead of http://www.developersdex.com/asp/message.asp?r=3263138&p=577
i need http://www.developersdex.com/asp/message/r/263138/p/577

I am sure you might have noticed these kinds of URLs..
they are search engine friendly

Why don't you just replace everything with and between ? and =, & and =
with / ?

My mistake. Replace all ?, & and = with /.

Because he wants a user to enter:
http://www.developersdex.com/asp/message/r/263138/p/577
and that will "automagically" be turned into:
http://www.developersdex.com/asp/message.asp?r=3263138&p=577
without the user knowing.

Cheers
Ken

Oh, the other way around. How will the webserver know where the real URL
ends and the fake starts?

hey max,

yea, How will the server understand whatswhat ?

My main idea is to index all content insdie the database .. which Google
will not do .. i think Google can index only files that reside on the
server, and not dynamic pages that keep changing data from a databse ..

the reference from ASP101 by A Ratcliffe, is good. Jus going through it,
guess thats what i was looking for :] :]
