So the permutations you laid out are:
pre vs. post
key vs. position
I'll have an easier time discussing them by name rather than A2 and B1, etc.
You discounted the position variation as being unnecessary. However
pre-position is exactly what I would like for my site. My only URL arg,
other than normal GET variables, is language. I don't want "lang=" in my
URL. I just want a two character prefix as in "en", "de", etc. Also, if the
prefix is not 2 characters, I want to assume "en".
In general, each developer is going to come up with their own creative
ideas about URLs and I'd like to enable that.
I'm not questioning the value or the stability of your code. But I would
like to review both it and Terrel's code _and then_ enhance Webware to
allow URL decoding which enables whatever permutation people desire with
the minimum amount of effort. That will be 0.7.
If applying your patch is painful, consider sticking it into a Kit whose
__init__.py installs it. Then you should be able to upgrade Webware without
having to re-edit Webware source code.
