Pretty good thoughts, there. Some years ago, Tim Perdue
(of PHPBuilder and SourceForge fame) had a popular
article on "Search Engine Friendly URL's" (or some such),
in which he described use of the Apache ForceLocal
directive to make a site just One Big Script, parsing
the slashed portions of the query string as variables
(instead of GET, a la "?section=man&term=foo") so that
the browser appears to be accessing documents in subfolders,
but it's really just telling the server to grab a page with certain
values defined in the URI.
It sure looks like a possibility of this or similar magic in
this case. Of course, I could be way off my tree...
And it appears I was at least *slightly* off my tree. In looking for
more info on this, my post (archived in 2 places), was the only
reference to a "ForceLocal" directive in Apache that Google could find ;-)
I meant "ForceType", and here's how it works in httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName test.foo.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/data/footest
ServerAdmin root@localhost
<Location /manual>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
Now, you write "manual" in PHP, (no file extension), and anything
directed to "manual" is parsed by said script.
Since I used the wrong terminology, I may have distracted any *real*
gurus from recognizing what I was talking about. Sorry for any confusion.
