I'm trying to make pretty URLs for a game site I'm developing, and due
to the hosting environment I'm somewhat limited in my Apache URL
rewrites. (I've tried the normal mod_proxy / mod_rewrite rules and they
haven't worked in this environment.)
I'd like the visitors to see
http://games.mydomain.com/game-title
Whereas what's really being accessed is
http://www.mydomain.com/display_game?title=game-title
or any solution that allows me to query a relational database for a game
title so I don't have to create hundreds of objects in Zope.
The only idea I have now is to use a Virtual Host Monster mapping to
send visitors using the games.mydomain.com to a folder that contains a
custom standard_error_message that reads the request object, figures out
the game title, and queries the database.... but that's really inelegant.
Is there a way to inspect the request before Zope starts traversing objects?
Or any other ideas on how to accomplish what I want? I'm not new to
Zope, but I basically use it as a container for Python scripts and
haven't delved too deeply into it otherwise... so I may be missing
something obvious.
