I use it on my cfcentral.com.au website. It basically works as an interrupt translation. Before the request is processed by the cfsever, the servlet translates the friendly url to the actual url and the cfserver then processes the actual url, not the friendly one which is why you still get access to all your url vars and so on.
Anything you can normally do on the url, you can do with the friendly one, although I have found that it isn't as dynamic as normal url processing cause the friendly url has to match a url in the config file for the servlet Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brett Payne-Rhodes Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2005 2:58 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Spike's Friendly URL servlet Hi Jason, I really don't know the detail of Spike's method for friendly URLs but my impression is that the way these things work is that all requests go through the index.cfm file. Index.cfm is then responsible for sorting out what file(s) are needed to handle the request. That is certainly how my friendly URL system works. So I think if you are passing requests to multiple .cfm files it may not be possible to use the existing 'friendly' URL schemes.
