[UPHPU] URL Rewriting

[Nathan Lane]

So then how does URL rewriting relate to using hashes to download files,
like many file servers do. For example you might want to download some
stored executable, but the link actually points to something convoluted
like:

http://example.com?id=576fab89756cc

Or something.

How does that play into URL rewriting? Is this some database lookup and
redirect that is occurring in the background to download the file in this
case?
