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:

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- 😛

Also, on that note: [http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI\](http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI%5C).
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)
