what the suffix of the file

Hi,
I have a question that when i surf the internet, i found out that using
..aspx suffix means using asp.net, using .jsp means using javaserver page,
etc. But some don't have any suffix. For instance,
http://daniel.gallery.whitelands.com/photos/newyorktrip , there is no such
suffix.

Can anyone tell me what kind of technology they are using?

I appreciate!

Could be a lot of things... often an an ISAPI extension or freaky unix
stuff.

This is mostly true, but with redirection and by using frameworks this is
not always the case. For example in the earlier project we are using jsp and
servlet but all our URI ends up with .html. So from the end user it seems
like they are browsing a static HTML page. You can have address like this:
www.foo.bar/index.exe but in actually it's a Java page, who knows :)
etc. But some don't have any suffix. For instance,
http://daniel.gallery.whitelands.com/photos/newyorktrip This could be a simple index.html file :) The web browser won't show you the
index.html if you just type that in the browser.

Thanks for Victor and Steve's informative suggesiton.

Hi Green,

As the other member has mentioned, this is something like a ISAPI filter or
UrlRewriting skill. ISAPI filter is like an add-in of the webserver(IIS OR
apache) which may redirect a certain incomming request (with a certain
suffix) to the actual processing handler. Also, in asp.net, there's a
buildin (managed) means to perform such task, here are some refernce on
UrlRewriting in asp.net:

#URL Rewriting in ASP.NET

/urlrewriting.asp\

#URL Rewriting - Search Engine Friendly URLs

Hope also helps. Thanks.
