eg if you use "xyz" as the SESdummyextension then you can publish:
http://www.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/something.xyz
The "xyz" will get removed during the conversion, and the equivalent normal URL would be:
http://www.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=something
Some people use a "dummy" file on the end, rather than just an extension:
http://www.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/something/dummyfile.abc
In this case SES converter treats this as:
http://www.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=something&dummyfile.abc
And since there is no value asigned to the url variable "dummyfile.abc" then it will not get set in the URL scope.
In this case SESconverter is merely duplicating what would happen with a normal URL.
In neither case do you need to create any files.

PS if better reporting is one of your goals then make sure it will actually get logged in your weblogs - CF5 with IIS won't log the SES urls, but CFMX will...
I'm not sure about other webservers.
PPS I would recommend using a UDF to format any URLs since this will allow easy switching if you need to change between SES and normal...

I've been reading about the sesConverter at Fusium.com

I didn't understand the reason/value of
having the "dummy" filename on the url. What is this dummy file? Do you
actually create a file with searchable content or is it just so the stats
app will have something to display?
