Have a look at RFC 1945 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1945.txt) and RFC 2616 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt). They describe the semantics of the HTTP protocol at the TCP/IP level. As for what happens on the server, when it receives the request you showedrequest, it parses the string "/help/12345/full", decides what to do with it, and then returns the appropriate data back to the browser. The string is just a string, so the server can process it any way it wishes. It does not have to be a physical file or folder. All the server has to do is receive requests and send responses. How it decides what data to send is at the server's descretion. Gambit
