Mod_rewrite is your best friend, if you've got Apache. Someone has
mentioned a port for IIS in the form of an ISAPI filter, I belive, but I
don't know.
It's such a snap to set up redirections, whether they're simple (turn a
script name into a fuseaction, for example), or complex, like
macromedia.

Good points all, John.
I was indeed taking a very simplistic view of the length of the string. And something I haven't given a lot of thought to was the depth of the folders. Very interesting.

Just an FYI, I somehow accidently cut out the email I was replying to. This
was in response to:

This will not matter to a properly built application though. Any time you
use a URL application your code should handle the lack of, or the
modification of, the value passed in the query string. While I accept the
"search engine" argument, I do not accept this one.

This is now moving into an off-topic realm, and maybe it is time to move it

Just out of curiosity, but why is the URL "awful"? Sure, it's not something
you can memorize, but outside of that, who cares how crazy it looks. The
