Aaron West's entry on SES URLs with Apache mod_rewrite
ColdFusion, ServersSomehow I totally missed this entry when Aaron posted it until he mentioned it on the Mach-II email list today. He has written a really nice and very detailed blog entry on how to configure your application to use SES URLs with by using mod_rewrite in Apache, and then goes on to show how the flow continues to his Mach-II application. We took some similar approaches with the URLs you see here on InstantSpot.
For those wondering how all these pieces fit togther, I strongly recommend you check out his blog entry entitled: Using Apache's mod_rewrite: SES URL's and More.

And IIS users can use Ionics Isapi Rewrite Filter (IIRF) for free and it's very similar to mod_rewrite:

WARNING: Don't install it in "\windows\system32\inetsrv" or changes to the IIS configuration will not be saved.
We've had to use this when some of our larger clients go to print with incorrect URLs or for integration with third-party software that can't pass URL parameters... primarily I prefer to use ColdFusion for SESURLs as the logic and configuration is extremely portable and doesn't require installing/configuring any DLLs. The only downside is that IIS is incapable of properly logging ColdFusion SESURLs unless you roll-your-own logfile (which is what we are doing).
