Web Server Enhancement

---------


September 11, 1996

MindSpring Engineering has been working hard, behind the scenes, to develop new, more efficient ways of providing service to the MindSpring community.

One of our latest enhancements will result in a slight change in determining which URLs your account supports. Effective immediately, we'll permit the use of *any* of your mailbox names in the URL to your pages. This means that all Works accounts will have multiple URLs; in fact, any account with an extra mailbox will have an additional URL.

For example, suppose I have a mailbox named jnixon, and a mailbox named mykids. The following URLs would then be equivalent

http://www.mindspring.com/~jnixon/
http://www.mindspring.com/~mykids/

and would display the same page.

Please note that our vanity aliases and customer domain aliases are *not* supported as URLs. We only have real mailbox names pointing to your web pages.

As usual, for all you incoming pipeline.com domain customers, simply replace 'mindspring.com' with 'pipeline.com', and the behavior is the same behavior. Oh yes, welcome aboard!

cheers, Fred
