Hi

I was reading a tutorial on Cool URI's.

I'm changing over to Linux from Windows but I need to finish a web site
first in Windows before that can be completed. When I check the web site
in localhost Windows puts %20 in the blank spaces (I'm sure you all know
this).

With the rewrite rule in httpd.conf I've got "/" going to "index.php"
and "/news/" going to "news.php". When I upload the site will it work OK
if I just replace the localhost part of the url (in the menu file) with
the proper web site address?

eg

http://www.thiswebsite/
http://www.thiswebsite/news/

instead of:

http://localhost/This%20Web%20Site/
http://localhost/This%20Web%20Site/news/

As the web address hasn't been redirected to the new web host will I be
able to use the IP address of the web site's new location (i.e. after
it's redelegated) to check it while it's still being propogated?

Thanks
