I saw this new technote yesterday from Adobe, showing how you can have ColdFusion render HTML pages. I would imagine most folks know how to do this and also that you can have any file extension set up to be rendered through ColdFusion. They also mention that this is a safe practice for hiding the underlying server technology from potential hackers. I have never really given much thought to making something like this a permanent step of the development process before. It could prevent a novice hacker from doing something ,malicious, but it's not going to stop a pro. How many of you are using this technique as part of your normal development practice?

Nope, but I do use ISAPI rewrite to completely remove the .cfm, and base everything on directory style URLS.. i/e something.cfm?q=foo/bar actually is /something/foo/bar/ which I guess has an equivalent effect.

I don’t care about hiding the server technology. Security by Obscurity is not really safe.
It’s SEO that I’m after using rewrite. And so, only three levels deep: /category-name/topic-name/page-title/
