Thanks Massimo. I understand re-mapping the url and I have the whole
dash vs underscore thing worked out for my app. But I'm just
wondering why controllers cannot have dashes in the name. Is it a
python thing, a web2py thing? Just curious. I'm one of those curious
people who like to understand why.
Could someone briefly explain just to ease my curious mind?
Thanks,
