No its not like that

You write

www.domain.com/index.cfm?section=22 as www.domain.com/somesection

you don't need the index.cfm at all

I use it on my cfcentral.com.au site

Its not too bad

I believe farcry also use it

Hi Steve,

I think I've already got 'friendly' URLs covered, assuming that 
http://domain.com/index.cfm/pageid is considered 'friendly'...

What I mean by memorable is to remove the 'index.cfm' and just have 
http://domain.com/pageid but still have the request processed through 
index.cfm. That URL results in a 404 error and I've been able to handle 
that by redirecting the error to index.cfm but the problem is that the 
redirect doesn't include the 'pageid'. I'm looking at mod_rewrite as an 
option but it is all a bit cryptic...

Thanks,

Brett
