I received a couple votes for mod_rewrite... but if I understand mod_rewrite
correctly, does it send a redirect back to the client, and redirect the
client with the new URL ??
That would change the url in the browser from:
http://<domain>.com/abc
to
http://<domain>/store?data=<>
This would be undesirable if this is truelly the way mod_rewrite works.
If it all stays at the server... it will work very well...
