The URLs do look like this, though: http://docushare.parc.xerox.com/Get/File-214 http://docushare.parc.xerox.com/Get/Collection-1273 and the issue isn't over 'cgi' vs. non-mapped cgi, but rather that a given resource can (sometimes) be in more than one collection. By the way, you said: # But, according to RFC 2396, everything to the right of the "?" in a URI is # to be interpreted by the resource, which is identified by the text to the # left of the "?". but RFC 2396 says no such thing. http://host/path?query1 and http://host/path are different resources. The only meaning of the 'query' is in relative URL parsing, and the fact that some media types (e.g., text/html) have algorithms that perform URL construction using the query syntax. Larry
