Understanding URLs when only a path is passed
Can someone please explain to me what is done to support a URL with just a pathname passed. For example, sometimes I see URLs that look something like:
www.mysite.com/products
and the website knows to display products.
My site is written using coldfusion.
How is this done? Is there a sub directory called products which has an index.cfm page?
