Converting pseudo URI to QueryString

2000-10-12 Thread BeerBong

Hello all!

I learned that most search engines ignores scripts with query string
(Altavista for instance). Correct me if I wrong...
Most of my sites are several Apache::ASP scripts with query_string
parameters... They work with database.
I can convert pseudo URI kinda /band/134/ to /band.asp?id=134 via
mod_rewrite, but I want to configure this at runtime, without restarting
Apache... I want to use Apache::ASP further and get this ability...
Any advices ?

Thanx in advance!

I've never done this myself, but I imagine that it doesn't
matter what URI translation mechanism you use, Apache::ASP
should work with it just fine, just to say that whether 
its a CGI or perl ASP script shouldn't matter much if
the rewriting works.

Consider changing your naming scheme to band.asp/134 and get your id from
$ENV{PATH_INFO}. Using mod_rewrite can very easily become a very big mess,
especially considering namespace of mod_perl scripts, internal redirects,
trailing slashes and relative urls.
