How does a site like SO put the title of the question dynamically into the url bar.
Is this through rewritemapping and mod rewrite and how can I do it on a normal web host. Thanks

In this URL:
the only part that matters is the question ID,
10903041. So just set up a redirection rule that ignores anything at the end of the URL, much like this:The PHP script can then redirect to the correct title if the title is not already provided or is incorrect; much like what happens when you visit https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10903041/why-is-this-question-title-so-wrong?.
