That's why we recommend you use suffix mapping for everything, so you can switch back and forth. That's also why all of our examples and admin interfaces are done with suffix mapping only.The only reason I document the CGI-style is because there are people out there who want to convert their old WebCat1.6.1 sites, and that's how all their URLs are set up. I also want to show an equivalence comparison between the two, so you can get an idea of how to convert your old URLs.The great pains we went to refer to suffix mapping URLs. There's nothing we can do to make CGI-style URLs work with a plugin. And, yes, docs can always use a cleanup!Grant Hulbert, V.P.
