That way the different category pages (Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3) have distinct pages names. That way they will all be indexed by search engines. If I understand the PageResolution directive correctly (and I may not) all the category pages would be called "category_page", which I think would end up with a lot of category pages and flypages not being indexed. I looked through the ActionMap docs online and I'm a bit confused. If "category" is in the URL like above, a certain action is executed which is usually defined by a Perl subroutine. In your example above what would happen? If a page called "http://foo.com/cgi-bin/bar/category/CategoryName/1.html"; is requested, the URL gets rewritten as "http://foo.com/cgi-bin/bar/CategoryName/1.html"; and the specified subroutine is run? Each of those HTML pages would be "imaginary" like the process page right? The actual page that is displayed would be defined in the subroutine? Is that all correct? I think I'm missing something. What do you think about bypassing the [more] system in general? Do you forsee any problems with doing something like that?
