Re: cgi-bin, .html, .pl etc in URIs
I totally agree URLs need to be sorted out.
I propose the way Debian could achieve this is by leveraging the popular
Virtual Hosting feature of Apache and a /web directory off root.
The FHS:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM
Suggests /srv but I don't think it will work.
So when a new webapp "example" is installed. It's specific URL is made
up by populating:
/web/example.myhost.com
With something as simple as a symlink:
debian$ ll /web
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2005-06-09 10:11 classpath.soltecsoftware.com.au -> /home/hendry/projects/classpath/
