Well, I beg to differ ...

It all depends how the webserver is configured.

You can easily have all your "cgi" scripts be served out of a "cgi-bin" directory and all your "css" files out of a totally different directory without the URL showing any different path.

    How is that differing? That's exactly what I said. It all depends how the webserver is configured to handle individual urls, so it's irrelevant in which directory the files are located.
