[Linux-disciples] RewriteRule

[Stephen R Laniel]

Well, I didn't solve the '?' problem, but I tried something that'll
probably work better: now

http://laniels.org/weblog/file

is an alias for

http://laniels.org/cgi-bin/weblog?rightframe=file

Not only is '/' easier to type than '?', but it doesn't suffer from the
regex-confusion problem. It's possible that Google will index files named
'/weblog/file' more easily than it will index '/weblog?file' as well:

http://mpt.phrasewise.com/2003/07/26#a534

Or maybe not: maybe Google will just try to access '/weblog/file', see
that it's an alias for '.../weblog?rightframe=file', and treat it just
as it would treat any file with a '?' in it. But it can't hurt.
