weird url format

[keak]

Hi there,
I just got thrown into this new web project, and the address of the site is

http://www.domain1.com/?nats=

which is find somewhat strange, does anyone know what this is?
its a php application, I am guessing its running zend optimizer?

any input will be greatly appreciated.

It looks to me like a GET-method input to the default script on that site. If the default document is index.php, the URL you posted is probably functionally equivalent to [ignore]

http://www.domain1.com/index.php?nats=

[/ignore]

Thanks,
I didn't know we can do that without the index.php part. Thanks!

on a side note, does anyone know how we can reverse compiled php files generated with the zend optimizer to get the original php source?

Yep, it's a GET-method replacement like sleipnir214 mentioned. I've seen it in numerous places and used it in some of my scripts as well.

The index.php or whatever can be specified as a default document. If only the domain is passed in the url, the server can search a list of default documents, and will serve the first one it finds

(Happens to be the DirectoryIndex directive in Apache's httpd.conf file)
