Many thanks for the reply. Can you tell me how I could parse this URL when it is called so I can generate the required content? Bear in mind that the actual internal path may be just /gps/ and the rest of the URL would need to be parsed to determine which data needs to be extracted via the database or API call. Also, how would I make my application "aware" that this URL (or at least the http://site.com/gps/ part of it) is part of my application? So far my attempts to read the requested URL or GET variables after a canonical redirection have proved fruitless. Is there an example anywhere? The homepage example uses static URLs so I do not believe it is representative of what I am trying to achieve. In order to generate pages for products that I am not aware of at compile time I need to be able to pass variables to a witty URL either as an appendage to the "real" URL or as ?id=abc&manufacturer=garmin&model=nuvi350 style arguments. At the moment I can't see how to do this, a simple example of how to do this would not go astray I believe and I would be happy to donate such an example (subject to peer review of course) if someone can tell me where to start?
