Plusieurs personnes m’ont suggéré de proposer à d’autres événements la conférence que j’ai donnée la semaine dernière à #ParisWeb au sujet de #IndieWeb et #POSSE. Je l’ai déjà donnée, les slides et la vidéo sont en ligne, donc est-ce réellement utile ? https://talks.nicolas-hoizey.com/AXGNM8/ne-vous-laissez-plus-deposseder-de-vos-contenus

I wish I were already in Brighton rather than facing a day of trains and planes.
#
[tantek]
well I'm facing a morning of ~90-120 minutes of trains so I feel part of that
#
[tantek]
I still think the fastest LHR-BTN route by rain is Heathrow Express to Paddington, Circle line to VIC, train VIC to BTN
#
[tantek]
which Google Maps *does not* show you as an option because they'd rather you take the slower way taking the tube from LHR all the way into central London
#

I would say routing is the process of mapping a URL to code

#
aaronpk
true technically static html files are still routed by the web server like Apache, but that isn't really how people use the term
#
[tantek]
I'd prefer if we could provide the simplest possible definition that is applicable to the simplest setup, e.g. static files on a server
#
[tantek]
all the more involved stuff can go later in the page
#
aaronpk
My point is the term isn't used in the context of the simple case of static files
#
[tantek]
my point is that terms like "routing" "look up" "discovery" are all vaguely used to mean the same generic thing and it's not at all obvious why one vs the other
#
[tantek]
or "mapping" for that matter
#
aaronpk
I feel like routing is something very specific used when talking about large web frameworks
#
aaronpk
I would never use "look up" as a replacement for "routing" in conversation
#
[Rose]
I _might_ if I were trying to explain it to someone who has no idea how any of the web works.
#
Ruxton
cheers
#
[tantek]
or "URL handling"
#
Ruxton
i know a stack f non-tech people that would use terms like look up
#
[tantek]
if routing is code-specific then the definition should mention that and explicitly note that *by default* on web servers there is no "routing" and web servers "just" serve the static file at that location
#
aaronpk
routing is a very specific jargon term and isn't something I'd use outside the context of programming in a web framework
#
[tantek]
I don't think it requires a web framework
#
aaronpk
Again technically not, but the vast majority of the use does
#
[tantek]
technically I have a "routing" rule in my .htaccess that maps URLs of a certain pattern /YYYY/ permalinks to be handled by my top level falcon.php file
#
[tantek]
zero frameworks involved
#
aaronpk
that *is* a kind of framework tho
#
[tantek]
no there is no abstraction, no framework
#
[tantek]
.htaccess is a configuration file, not a framework
#
aaronpk
The flip side is I'm not sure I've seen htaccess rules referred to as routing in any docs
#
aaronpk
It's usually called rewriting or redirecting
#
[tantek]
but it's not a redirect either
#
[tantek]
as the URL is handled as given
#
aaronpk
That's the rewrite case
#
aaronpk
the wiki isn't supposed to have the most theoretically pure definition of terms anyway. It's supposed to have practical definitions in the context of personal websites, so whether something is technically routing isn't really important
#
[tantek]
yes routing is the feature, RewriteRule is one way to implement routing in Apache
#
[tantek]
why is it useful to make routing more narrow like only for (some?) frameworks?
#
aaronpk
I literally never even heard the term until I started using frameworks, and I've been writing htaccess rules for at least a decade before that
#
[tantek]
I think I first heard it in the context of Rails and it definitely sounded way more complicated than it needed to be
#
aaronpk
Yeah it's always sounded more complicated for some reason
#
[Lewis_Cowles]
I think tantek definition fits mine. If I talked about routing ans someone inferred a web application framework, I'd be very upset with them if they continued after being told they are conflating an entire domain with a corner of it
#
[Lewis_Cowles]
My great grandfather was a switchboard operator for cable and wireless, and my father is a radio ham, so perhaps I am biased in this regard
#
[tantek]
“Conflating an entire domain with a corner of it” is a useful phrase
#
[Lewis_Cowles]
We are all guilty of it to some degree. I just prefer the age-old tradition of new words, instead of redefinitions
#
aaronpk
microsoft's documentation has a good definition: "URL routing allows you to configure an application to accept request URLs that do not map to physical files"
#
[tantek]
I’d say “rather than” instead of “that do not map to”
#
[tantek]
Otherwise agreed
#
[tantek]
Static instead of physical
#
aaronpk
agreed
#
[tantek]
I mean, know any web servers that retrieve from physical file cabinets?
#
aaronpk

sebsel
I was going to ping sknebel about this indeed :P https://seblog.nl/2019/09/17/1/physical
#
Loqi
[Sebastiaan Andeweg] So many times I see developers using the word 'physical' when they are still referring to some virtual thing, just one layer less abstract.

[tantek]
what is routing
#
Loqi
routing (or URL routing) is a way to configure a website to have some (or all) of its URLs handled by software rather than static files; an IndieWeb site may have no routing (a static site), some routing like one directory handled by PHP or other software, or all URLs handled by a framework like Ruby on Rails with its own routing system https://indieweb.org/routing
#
[tantek]
^^^ attempted to incorporate everyone's suggestions to improve the routing dfn
#
[tantek]
and reduce use of jargon
