When I have a need for an extension (ie serving files for download), I tend to do this for a log file: /path/to/logfile?ext=.log IE4 and IE5 will try to guess mime types and if they fail, they look at the extension. The reason for the above notation is to make the object usable in Python, but to help IE figure out what I mean. Troy. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone on the list who helps me with Zope and my many difficulties. Not many mailing lists are this helpful. -----Original Message----- From: Tino Wildenhain [mailto:tino@wildenhain.de] Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2001 8:10 AM To: Philippe J Cc: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] .html extensions Hi Philippe, the only reason for .html endings would be for editors to guess the filetype from it. To link to /index.html is kind of silly even for "regular" web-servers (like apache). One goal of zope was to get "nice" URLs ;) Regards Tino Philippe J wrote:

...

Hi all,

way back I saw a reference on how to make it look like Zope objects end in '.html'. This can be important for getting into search engines. I've got Apache proxying back to Zope, so I thought that mod_rewrite would be my friend, however Zope still generates URLs w/o the .html.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Chris
