See my other message and RFC 3986. Mmm.... accepted, but I've never seen a webserver that treats the two differently without a bit of work. But you're right - If I pass everything under http://somehost/ to a script via mod_rewrite, which prints out /word1/word2/word3 I get: //dir/subdir: word1= word2=dir word3=subdir /dir/subdir: word1=dir word2=subdir word3= That's with some simple PHP - so you must be correct about the possibility of a difference in pages returned, but I'm going to claim that when I said "functionally equivalent", I meant "according to the functional behaviour of all web servers I have observed, these are equivalent" ;o) -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
