[Zope] .html extensions

[Farrell, Troy]

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.

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 ;)
