You could do this using mod_rewrite in apache alone, if you can find no better way to do it, if your app is apache-fronted. But it's not as obvious to me as it is to you that "you ought to be able to do everything through a URL that you can using a complete interface to HTTP." I guess it is convenient for debugging though. LeVan,Ralph wrote: > I've been sensing a flaw in HTTP for some time now.
