Good Url

A GoodUrl is one that is ShortAndSweet?


Basically, most URLs have a lot of unnecessary junk that isn't needed. Also, many are using forum parameters (query strings) where they shouldn't apply, such as to define a page on a CMS or Wiki.

1. Forum parameters should only be used for parameters, not to represent regular pages. This means no ?StuffLikeThis? or ?page=StuffLikeThat?. Use the RewriteEngine? with a proper RewriteRule? on ApacheServer?.

2. FilenameExtensions? are unnecessary. Servers like ApacheServer? have ways to find the internal file that represents the request. So no index.html where index would suffice. (index would server-side load index.html)

3. What about cgi, cgi-bin in URLs? RewriteRule? 'em out!?
