It is? Lots of sites use URLs to pass data, on top of pointing at files on servers. The more complex the data, the more use it might have - the longer the URL gets - eg: http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en&sessionID=JP26_1355129797&requestID=2&tripSelector1=1&itdLPxx_view=detail&tripSelection=on&command=nop&calculateDistance=1 In case Tom's forgotten how to get to TVC from BH.... A shorter version of that would be very useful, and I can't work out how a better designed URL would make it significantly shorter (apart from losing the /user/ and XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2 bit) George - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
