You can do it, but it depends on how you format your URLs because it makes a static HTML file for Apache to serve (and Apache won't serve files with GET parameters in the name). For example, if your URL is: http://www.example.com/products?category=5 This wouldn't work because Apache automatically separates on ? and would look for a file called products.html (not your category 5 specific one). On the other hand if your URL was: http://www.example.com/products/category/5 Then it would work - the 5 would become 5.html in a folder called category in a folder called products. Caching works with parameters, just not normal GET parameters like ?foo=bar. Cheers, Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
