that may not be what was asked for - the defailt behavior (or list of
options) is not currently configuratble, e.g. if you're used to (for
example) IIS, where you can setup the list of default pages (and search
order) for a web app, then you can set things like "index.html,
default.html, ...."
Here - web2py does not have this configurable (correct me if I'm wrong,
Massimo) -
For applications, it is hardwired to:
[1] init, or if not existing:
[2] welcome
For controller, it is hardwired to default. If you do NOT have a default.py
controller AND you do not supply a controller in the path, web2py will TRY
..../appname/default/index - and you will get a "invalid controller" page as
a result (which, actually, is not very nice for end users).

I think this is probably not what was asked for - this will take any attempt
to browse (explicitly) to
http://www.mydomain.net/myapp/great_keyword and redirect it to
myapp/default, as well as show it in the browser as myapp/great_keyword.
You would need to add mappings for routes_in from '/' to default (or
great_keyword, if that is how your controller is named).
How does this translate / affect search engine optimization?
