Creating Standard URLs for Dates

I spent the evening learning about Apache’s mod_rewrite as a result of a question on a Web log developer’s list about the best form for permament, date based URLs. Suppose you want to give out URLs of the form: http://www.foo.com/content/archive/2000/01/01, but your cgis are configured as http://www.foo.com/content/archive.cgi?date=2000-01-01 or you have static content like http://www.foo.com/content/archive-2000-01-01.html. Here’s how to use mod_rewrite so you have clean URLs which are easy to remember and Web indexers will follow.
