Does this mean they may have some URL ReWrite or something setup and a mask
to simply run a page based on the article ID?
The previous poster who mentioned CMS possible writing a cache file out
sounds plausible.
I'm not sure of the advantages of having umpteenth ASP pages just to display
a single article.
Seems to me that having one page that dynamically reads/displays the article
based on the passed URL would be ideal.
Opinions?

Custom 404?
The page itself perhaps does not exist at all, and the custom 404 just
creates the required content based on the article id (17229) ?

news:O1**************@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... Hi all - I've been wondering how folks do this for some time...
I've noticed when I go to various websites to read online articles, when
the link is clicked, I frequently see a file such as
NewsArticle-17229.asp.
The ASP file is totally different for each article.
How is this done?
Is there an ASP file created that is unique for each article?
The # on the end appears to change.
Any help would be appreciated.
