Webspeed homepage

[Potish]

I have a website running against a webspeed database including the home page that has dynamic content from the database. I am running Webspeed 3.1C on a Windows 2000 Server environment. I have 2 questions

1.) To direct users to the website home page from the default.htm file on my webserver I use a <meta http-equiv="refresh" content"0;url=/cgi-bin/.."which works perfect but I think has a negative effect on the site's google ranking. Is there an alternative to using this meta tag and still having my homepage contain dynamic data from the database?
2.) How can I hide the scripting information i.e /scripts/cgiip.exe/Wservice from URLs on my website

Thank you

Hi,

Question 1 I will have to have a think about, I have not yet had to do a main page of a Google spidered website in WebSpeed (maybe someone else has the answer). Maybe you can just get Google to spider the page you are trying to redirect to instead of the default.htm page? Other than that there may be some other tricks, but as said, it needs some reflection on my part.

To your question 2, lookup how to setup a WebSpeed configuration file (.wsc) for your configuration in the documentation and/or Progress knowledge base. That way you can change your WebSpeed URL to http://<yourdomain.com>/scripts/SomeName.wsc instead of showing the Service name etc in the URL.
