hides a lot of plumbing that if you're not aware, can make life difficult to understand/accomplish what you need to do
I can still remember my Grandmama asking me where the key making a space on the typewriter was. She was looking for a key saying "space".
In my first month on the job, my lead did not believe in assisting the newbies (he would say "Tell it to the Telly Tubbies" and show me a Telly Tubby doll). I took several days figuring out why there were "?"s in the code. Do you know how hard it is to find out something that is so basic no one talks about it?
I knew nothing about URLs or about request/response objects. That is just horrible mentoring.
My unsolicited advice, Denis, if you are not aware of these things is to take HTML very seriously because that is what we are passing around and to learn without question everything you can about request and response objects.
I would also highly recommend that you break down the parts of what is normally termed (incorrectly) as the URL and see how that all fits into the picture. I, for one, have really been helped by removing file based protocols from my web requests and forwards. I convert web protocols to file protocols internally now and am so much freed in terms of time I cannot believe it myself.
Blah, blah!
