Of course this is on IIS, so there's no .htaccess.

Bullshit. It may not be as good as Apache, but it still is a perfectly good webserver.


On this point, agreed - IIS 6 is a reasonable basic webserver. I run one at
work in a mixed ASP (legacy code) and PHP (new code) environment, and it's
noticably better than IIS 5, and Apache on Windows is historically not
brilliant. Having said that, I'm still working (slowly) towards Apache on a
UNIX variant (probably RHEL), since all the new code is PHP and is gradually
replacing the ASP.


Sorry, Micha. Your theoretical ideas don't work in practice.

Try doing parsing every file (including static html files) for three or four different languages.


You've missed the point - I don't believe anyone has suggested that you do
that.


Andy, that's exactly what Micha is suggesting. Remove the extension from the file and have Apache parse all files the same way.

In fact, his first suggestion was to tell Apache to parse all .html files with PHP, whether they included PHP code or not. Then I brought up other conditions - like the site I mentioned which currently uses asp, php and perl - and will soon probably be using python.

And I'm supposed to parse every page for each of these?

All to match his Utopian ideal of having URI's which are completely independent of technical details.

Good in theory. But not in practice.
