- For textual input PathRouter doesn't break on & and + in ways that Apache
rewrites will. While this doesn't matter for most of the input used by ShortURL
we should still be consistent in implementation.
- This moves logic that should be handled by MediaWiki into MediaWiki where it
belongs. Special pages, params, etc... should not be hardcoded into .htaccess
files.
- Eventually MediaWiki is going to start handling 404s on it's own. At that
point many MediaWiki installations will start handling short urls by simply
pointing their 404 ErrorDocument to MediaWiki. ShortURL needs to implement
PathRouter in order to work under this environment.
- PathRouter will work on servers using FastCGI that don't have a good rewrite
engine of their own.
