That is because URIs no longer represent actual server directory structures.

Its not too hard to have a database of 'URIS' and pass all pages to a
master dispatcher actibve page so that "/stream/bbcmedia_radio2_mf_p"
gets mapped to '/somestream.mp3' whereas "/stream/" has no database
entry at all.

contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.
