What he's saying is that you don't need mod_rewrite for this kind of thing. It's pretty standard for REST applications to use the path_info to determine which resource to return. Or you could do it with mod_rewrite, but using the path_info can provide for a lot more flexibility. -- Michael Peters Plus Three, LP
