I'm going to do something lame in a few days
I kicked myself when I realized I was going to want to change my permalink structure in the near future, very bad form. The issue at hand is IIS6 vs 5 really. My development machine is still XP, I'll probably repave it to W2K3 Server some rainy Saturday soon. Not that I'm doing a lot of mountaineering on my weekends.
I'm using a HttpModule I wrote that does a lot of what mod_rewrite does and IIS6 will let me use this in BooBlog in a more RESTian way and lose the the "file exists" constraint of IIS5 for mapping things on to the worker process. In other words, I'll change my permalinks to http://host/posts/id soon and should have at least just done http://host/posts.aspx/id instead of http://host/posts/id.aspx (which
BlogX does actually). Small difference, but it feels like the right thing to do, even though changing permalink/format feels wrong too.
So consider this advance notice of me breaking my own standard or somesuch.
