That's how many web development frameworks do it. Its called "URL
re-writing", and it is done at the web server level. Instead of
extracting key/value pairs from the query string, the server hands off
the URL to a custom module (sometimes even exposed to the application)
to convert it into a meaningful format, usually back into a
query-string with key/value pairs.
In my experience, the URL is not parsed by the web server, just
converted back to a query-string so that the standard mechanisms can
continue being used.
