I have a basic question that I am trying to understand. Could some explain 
to me what is happening on the server side when this is entered in a web 
browser.

http://someserver:2300/help/12345/full

Of course this is a fictional site and I understand the request will go to 
port 2300. The other thing is that the number 12345 can be any number. What 
I don't understand is what or how is this request is handled on the server 
side. That is, if I make a request like this then information is returned to 
my browser, and if I change the number then different information is 
returned.

Could someone help me in this understanding or point me to a site where I 
could inform myself.

Thanks for any information.

Mike
