For the Pier sites that I am deploying, I do not want there to be a login link on any of the pages. There is no functionality (like wiki pages) for normal users. Only two or three administrators have logins (i.e. >0.1% of people accessing the site). Since there is no login link, I need to be able to give them a URL to be able to login and I want to give them as simple a URL as possible. In fact, the URL right now is /site/login and I have been thinking about adding an Apache rewrite rule to have /login redirect to /site/login. Does that better explain what I am trying to accomplish? Now that I'm writing this email I realize that I could just use a rewrite rule to add '?command=PULogin'--which I might go ahead and do-- but it still seems to me that it would be useful to map an arbitrary URL to a command without the '?command=' and without having to resort to Apache rewrite rules. And while we are on the subject of commands and rewrite rules, I've noticed that commands post to '/' even if they are part of a longer URL (like mydomain.com/site/login). This behavior is slightly problematic given that the default page for one of my sites is not '/' and I have a rewrite rule to redirect '/' to that default page. I had to add a 'RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST' test to my rewrite rule. It would be nice if commands posted to the URL they were called from. David ---- 1 Squeak/Seaside/Pier site deployed
