A while ago I put together 4-5 rewriterules (mod_rewrite) to automate
passing of user IDs in the URL. This works for static files too and
doesn't require any change to the site. Something like this:
1. if the URI contans @@ID123456@@, then strip it and set enviroment
variable USERID
2. if HTTP_REFERER contains it, then issue an external redirect with
the same URI plus @@ID123456@@. (needed for absolute links)
There was also a rule for images and a special directory (/forgetid)
plus a rule to let other handlers grab the URI too.
My 2 cents
