You cannot assume that there is any kind of "file" behind a request. For all you know, that request triggers a database lookup to generate a response. The only way to know for sure is to have access to the server's configuration so you can see exactly how a particular request would be handled. Now we can speculate, and guess that links like those probably point to some kind of ASP-like pages. Perhaps PHP, HTML::Mason, Embperl, etc. Or, they could be "conventional" CGI scripts with a .htm extension. Again, you simply cannot tell from the request itself. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
