I am currently generating a sitemap file dynamically using a HttpHandler, with a path set to sitemap.axd. This then returns xml content. No one at my office is certain if all search engines accept this extension or if they need .xml to parse. I know that I can submit it to Google through the webmaster tools and use robots.txt to indicate...

I was told this by a coworker, and I was curious if this was true. They requested I change any links on a site that point to the homepage as 'index.php', I'm assuming because they think it will treat the two different URLs (www.sitename.com and www.sitename.com/index.php) as duplicate content. However, I don't think that this is the ca...
