friendly-url

I am using .htaccess. My original link is: http://example.com/CareerDays/index.php?u_type=admin And I'm trying to make it look like this: http://example.com/v/admin The entire code looks like this: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^v/([^/]*)$ /CareerDays/index.php?u_type=$1 [L] And I always get " 500 Internal Server Error " Nasser When you put configuration directives in a .htaccess file, and you don't get the desired effect, there are a number of things that may be going wrong. Most commonly, the problem is that AllowOverride directive in httpd.conf file is not set such that your configuration

When one creates web content in languages different than English the problem of search engine optimized and user friendly URLs emerge. I'm wondering whether it is the best practice to use de-accented letters in URLs -- risking that some words have completely different meanings with and without certain accents -- or it is better to stick to the usage of non-english characters where appropriate sacrificing the readability of those URLs in less advanced environments (e.g. MSIE, view source). "Exotic" letters could appear anywhere: in titles of documents, in tags, in user names, etc, so they're

Python frameworks always provide ways to handle URLs that convey the data of the request in an elegant way, like for example http://somewhere.overtherainbow.com/userid/123424/ I want you to notice the ending path /userid/123424/ How do you do this in ASP.NET? This example uses ASP.NET Routing to implement friendly URLs. Examples of the mappings that the application handles are: http://samplesite/userid/1234 - http://samplesite/users.aspx?userid=1234 http://samplesite/userid/1235 - http://samplesite/users.aspx?userid=1235 This example uses querystrings and avoids any requirement to modify the

How can we provide URL-Rewriting support for Tomcat/Java ? mod_rewrite provides this functionality for Apache and can modify URLs even before they reach the handler (e.g. PHP). Is there a similar tool in Java/Tomcat ? To be more specific we need modifications such as http://www.somedomain.com/person/1 Maps to http://www.somedomain.com/details?personId=1 And this should be transparent to the servlet code, i.e. we should be able to access request.getParameter("personId") in the servlet and get the personId (1 in this case). Did you come across such a scenario ? What tool did you use ? Would love

We are designing a URL system that will specify application sections as words separated by slashes. Specifically, this is in GWT, so the relevant parts of the URL will be in the hash (which will be interpreted by a controller layer on the client-side): http://site/gwturl#section1/section2 Some sections may need additional attributes, which we'd like to specify with a : , so that the section parts of the URL are unambiguous. The code would split first on / , then on : , like this: http://site/gwturl#user:45/comments Of course, we are doing this for url-friendliness, so we'd like to make sure

Definition From Wikipedia : A slug is the part of a URL which identifies a page using human-readable keywords. To make the URL easier for users to type, special characters are often removed or replaced as well. For instance, accented characters are usually replaced by letters from the English alphabet; punctuation marks are generally removed; and spaces (which have to be encoded as %20 or +) are replaced by dashes (-) or underscores (_), which are more aesthetically pleasing. Context I developed a photo-sharing website on which users can upload, share and view photos. All pages are generated
