what tech Yahoo uses?

[homecurr]

Hi everyone:

Do you know what technique Yahoo used on it web site like MyYahoo and
finance.Yahoo.com? I want to know if it is Jsp/servlet, CGI, or
others. I see a lot URLs in the pattern of
http://somelink.yahoo.com/some_app/some_page?para1=v1&para2=v2. I
guess it should be Jsp. How about CGI? I do not think yahoo use
..Net...

Thanks,

John

The PHP community is proud to count Yahoo among its users. At least, that's
what I read a year ago...

How much of Yahoo is on PHP I don't know, however...

Sorry, I don't have the link anymore where you could verify.

Ben.

If you want to have your program talk to their server, it does not
really matter what they are doing. You still just talk HTTP GET PUT.

If you do a view source, you see they make heavy use of JavaScript.

JSP, Servlets and just about anything else mimics the old CGI HTTP Get
command line. That is what FORMS will generate when you click submit.
These look to the server like little canned forms.

Sometimes the server hints what is it using. MS with .asp. Servlets
with .jsp and PHP with .php.

The best practice is to keep that hidden. Then if you change your
server womb software, old bookmarks will still work.
