REST over Django

Image
When I read about web-servers the last time, they were different. Back then, a page in the web root (usually the '/var/www' directory) mapped to one URL. For instance a page called "abc.php" mapped to "http://www.example.com/abc.php". For more complicated URLs, you had to tweak your httpd.conf. But that was in the times of PHP. These days, things have changed!
