[s2] The death of the .action extension

A long time coming, it is now possible (and practical) to get rid of extensions altogether, hence the subject, the death of the .action extension. With WW-2163 [1], Struts can make the distinction between a setting that has Struts match all URL's, and one that only matches URLs with no extension,

RE: [s2] The death of the .action extension

Re: [s2] The death of the .action extension

Hehe. I actually did this same exercise for the SmartURLs plugin. It is running on a number of live sites we built and works well. I'm glad to see that this will be incorporated into core. One of the things I made sure to handle as well were the indexes for URLs like: 1.
