I am building an intensive web application and currently all my URLs at the moment are in page.php?action=string format. Don’t worry, we have a fall back plan to change all pages quickly to the SEO URLs via a config file.
I want to know two things. What script is running this site:
http://lookbook.nu/ (also http://stackoverflow.com)
If you just look at it, hover over areas, crazy ajax calls, so many subdomain calls, so many clean URLs. What would be the best approach to do this – is this a RoR thing? All the URLs are so clean and structured. It really impressed me.
I am not wishing for a htaccess solution as I am using nginx.
StackOverflow actually runs on ASP.NET MVC, but you have URL rewriting built in Apache too if that’s your thing. No clue about nginx, though.
Edit: A simple Google search revealed http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRewriteModule so you’re in luck!
