I am getting this error only SOMETIMES (apparently randomly, though I know there's really no such thing in computers). I'm working on an MVC (release 1) site in VS 2008.

An affilite code is marked by an x followed by an int, and will only appear at the end of a URL (but before the query string). The idea is that I will extract the affiliate ID, do some logging, then do a 301 to the same request without the affiliate ...

How do I remember a url in php to serve it to a user after authentication. The idea is the user will request the url but while unauthenticated. In this case, I forward him to the login page, but what's the best practice to save that url so I can serve it to him once authenticated. I thought about saving it in session variables, but not s...

Is there any way to get truly restful routing working in MVC, just like the rails dudes have? I 'm talking about nested urls like /bands/metallica/albums/killemall/track/4 The only library that I found to be useful is Steve Hodgkiss' Restful routing. It seems though a bit risky to base my whole project's routing on this guy's pet-projec...
