Thank you for that site pointer. An excellent example, and a great one
to bookmark!
Thanks. :-)
You want an 8am train from Cardiff to Birmingham?
http://www.traintimes.org.uk/8:00/cardiff/birmingham
The requested URL /8:00/cardiff/birmingham was not found on this server.
Hmm, works fine here. ;-)
<sigh> people are so complicated...
Well, all you had to do was ask. ;)
The reason it's as it is by default, by the way, is because URLs are
hierarchical, and it's pretty pointless to supply a time without a from or a
to (whereas cutting any bit off a default URL returns what you'd expect).
The front page gives the "manual", such as it is.
Another site I've done, http://landmarktrust.dracos.co.uk/ uses a key=value
URL structure, so that it doesn't matter in what order the variables are
presented.

Well, unless you can get 1 and l, or O and 0 confused. :)
