Thanks Brad!
I did google it and found this:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /.*/index\.(a4d|php|html)\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)index\.(a4d|php|html)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Which adding to the apache vhosts config allows the browser to send:
http://caderms.local/?loc=apps.main
Which gets it interpreted as:
http://caderms.local/index.a4d?loc=apps.main
Cool. But do I have to create the urls in fusebox (my app) to push
these pretty urls, or is there another rewrite rule that converts the
'ugly' URLs to pretty ones?
AFAIK, the rewriting only works for the request. However, if they click
on, or type http://caderms.local/?loc=apps.main the pretty URL will not
change in the address bar. The fact that you are using fusebox is hidden
to them.
In terms of how the pretty URLs end up in your page source, you'll need
Active4D to change those for you.
Since we don't use fusebox (not by choice, but timing) I'm admittedly
not familiar with the internals. But, I'd think that with a little Regex
magic and a modification to (or wrapper around) "fusebox.makeURL" you
should be able to make the fusebox URLS 'pretty' without a great deal of
effort.

Sorry Brad, yes, you are exactly right.
I was thinking from the perspective that we would still create the
urls as we do now, but the user would see them as pretty.
Have you done this before?
Not for fusebox, but for some other Active4D pages
# Requests for FOO shortcut by Number, e.g, foo.example.net/500, gets the
user
# the detail form for FOO-00500. We care about HTTP_HOST because we also do
this for BAR.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]{1,5})$
http://localhost:8080/acr/api/openbynum.a4d?host=%{HTTP_HOST}&num=$1 [NC,P]
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080
For fusebox, you could extend the example above, but it might get tricky if
you had a variable number of parameters in your query string and you have to
right rules for all the possible combinations.
I was thinking of looking at something like wordpress that does
exactly that in their .htaccess files.
We don't do our rewrite stuff in .htaccess, but looking at those examples
is probably a good idea. You might also Google "fusebox mod_rewrite" or
"mod_rewrite SEO". I think a lot of sites that need to have search friendly
URLs for dynamic content do this type of thing.
Thanks,

Michael,>
Just so I understand what you want mod_rewrite to change, don't you mean
the
reverse?
this
www.example.com/circuit/main/id/1/bst/20
or this:
www.example.com/circuit/main/id=1;bst=20
would be rewritten to
www.example.com/index.a4d/?fuseaction=circuit.main;id=1;bst=20
The end users would see the original URLs.
