Amongst the other changes and cleanups in Seaside 3.0, it looks like better RESTful url support is coming. From Phillippe Marschall in the mailing list:
This is some fallout from ESUG. Currently if you wanted to create a RESTful webservice in Seaside it was more cumbersome than it needed to be. You basically had to do all the URL parsing yourself. Seside-REST tries to address this by binding certain URLs to certain Smalltalk methods.
With the move to more and more Ajax (and less and less need for continuation based development), this makes a lot of sense. It's good to see Seaside moving in this direction.
