A GET of http://www.cnn.com/video/ is done and the client "application" is responsible for interpreting and processing the fragment identifier (/video/living/2007/07/06/ cnn.heroes.scott.southworth.two.cnn) . Typically one would expect that if this is html and the client is the browser then the fragid is an anchor, but in this case it appears that a script that gets run when that page is loaded picks up the rest of the stuff past the "#" and arranges for another request in which the full path is passed as a query parameter, that parameter being used by a different server to retrieve the video in question. -Alan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier On Jul 26, 2007, at 10:31 AM, T.
