Depends on your server and the cgi script. If you have an Apache server
and are allowed mod_rewrite processing you could give the appearance of
a static URL:
www.example.com/products/1
gets converted to the real URL:
www.example.com/products.php?id=1
with a .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
#Products parse
RewriteRule ^products/([\d]*) products.php?id=$1 [L]
