Dear all,

I beg to differ: a URL is the location of a FILE on the Internet. The
reason why we don't normally have to worry about the last part, i.e. the
actual file name, is that the web server is configured to serve a default
page, which is usually 'index.html', 'index.shtml', or 'index.php', if no
page is explicitly given.
If you remember, I asked for your feedback, and what you all have said has
shown me that what I've presented is obviously not what you all are
looking for.
Talking about feedback: Ian, next time, you might want to consider making
sensible SUGGESTIONS, rather than saying that something is SILLY, when you
don't even know what you are talking about. Is it really so difficult to
say that the submit form SHOULD gracefully handle choped-off URLs?
Thanks again for all the feedback. I am pulling the plug on RadHub. I hope
I haven't wasted too much of your valuable time.
Long live Google (which has some good definitions on 'URL'...)
Axel
