Yup .. I was gonna use mod_rewrite .. but I was asking if anyone had any tutorials on using mod_rewrite to accomplish this task :�)
Thanks for the URL .. I'll look at this IIS solution as its always good to know all the ways to solve the same problem :�) Stephen -----Original Message----- From: Snake Hollywood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 October 2003 11:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] SearchEngine Safe URLS The best way is to install an ISAPI filter into the webserver that changes the URL before passing the request to the webserver or CF. Goto www.pstruh.cz and get the URL replacer (if your using IIS), if your using Apacahe try MOD Rewrite With this you can makes all your URLS and links friendly by using / instead of ? And & and the filter will put these chars back when requests are made to the server.

I know its probably done with a Regular Expression to stick .cfm onto the end of clothing (or essentially the first element after the .com) and then I can process the path info from there .. but I've drawn a blank and just thought I'd ask here in case anyone had come across a good example of how to do it :�) Any help would be appreciated!
