Re^2: Lazy TWiki-inspired question

Thanks - I'm still non-plussed as to why the server doesn't just return a 404 when it tries to access /bin/view/Main/WebHome, but I'll fire up a local apache server, rustle up a script, read some docs, and figure it out....

The server knows what to do with /bin/view and in lieu of knowing what to do with a path more specific, invokes that program, passing the full URI. Web servers don't have to map URIs to file paths at all; that's just the most useful and most prevalent default behavior.	[reply]

Ah - I see. So this is just as much an Apache question as a perl one? Tnx all - I'll read and test up... Tom Melly, tom@tomandlu.co.uk	[reply]
