Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of it.

I think I can avoid the problem you mention because I use URL rewriting 
to direct *all* URLs to a PHP script. At least, that's the intention. I 
have a .htaccess file in the root directory which includes the following.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule .* utils/microsite.php [END]

AIUI, as long as mod_rewrite or the equivalent is enabled, that will 
cause all Get requests to be intercepted by the PHP script. (I hadn't 
thought about other HTTP methods, though. Something I should check.)

The PHP script is there to

1. validate the URL
2. read a configuration file
3. map the URL to a file name
4. convert the file's content to HTML

The URL rewriting seems to work as intended, at least for Get requests.
