Web page technology (example here on yahoo) and their URLs?
Look at the url for your “my profile” page.
Notice there is no file name. Not an apparent one, anyway. A (what I would assume is a) directory location is followed by a semicolon and then URL GET type variables.
Im curious about what this technology is, what is virtues are, etc.
“.com/my/my;_ylt=”

Yahoo uses php scripting for webpages & mysql database to store data.
If you want proof then just right click your question & click on “view source” to find following type of links
“/common/util/ks-urp-xhr-handler.php?method=addFriend&kid=A3kidzNPaa&
curtime=1232261911&.crumb=wnh%2Fv7MMYXO
You can easily understand this if you look at any yahoo question link
Following is link to your question without any get variable but it contains mysql query looking for “qid” followed by date & time of your question (2009/01/17 19hours 16min 58sec) & a random string.
answers.yah00.com/question/index?
qid=20090117191658AAOcFwf
The same link when clicked from index of “questions from your contacts” section will look like:
answers.yah00.com/question/
index;_ylt=AjeGxR246iVUctY_RQaRPKLsy6IX;
_ylv=3?qid=20090117191658AAOcFwf
Note that whatever comes after “?” is mysql query but before which “ylt”& “ylv” are URL GET type variables (as you have correctly identified)
If you want to know more about “ylt” & “ylv” I would again suggest you to go through the source code
Hope this helps
