Any reason you don’t like Rails? I see ‘rails’s url rule is not good’,  
what  
does that mean?

I assume he wants the file extensions on the end, so that when he  
changes tools down the road, all his URLs will be broken. 🙂

This link may help, though:

Also, on that note: [http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI](http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI).

The fact that newly developed PHP / JSP / other CGI still happily  
violates rules that were published in an eight year old document (and  
were a bad idea ages before anyway) makes me cringe. The fact  
half-decent support for clean URLs is only a recend development in web  
frameworks makes me cringe more… (Ugh, mod\_rewrite)

I could’ve sworn mod\_ruby had an Erb handler of some sort to handle  
pages like .rhtml even without that hideous hack.

And if it doesn’t, well, _cough_ -hint- 😛
