-In older versions of the OpenACS, the mapping between URLs and pages was
-simple. AOLserver, the usual webserver for the OpenACS, would find the
-appropriate file by appending the server's page-root to the path in
-the URL and returning that file to the user.  For example, a user's
-request for a URL like "http://foo-service.com/bar.html" would cause
-the server to look in the filesystem for
-<computeroutput>/web/foo-service/www/bar.html</computeroutput>, and return that file.
-This was simple enough, but OpenACS did not provide a clean centralized
-mechanism for the following requirements of larger web services:

-To achieve this functionality above in OpenACS 3.x, developers used an ad
-hoc combination of AOLserver filters, the <computeroutput>ns_perm</computeroutput> call,
-special purpose code in pages, and other procedures.  In OpenACS &version;, the
-Request Processor, along with the OpenACS Package Manager, centralizes and
-unifies this functionality, making it more transparent and readily
-available to developers.

 The &version; Request Processor is a global filter and set of Tcl procs that
 respond to every incoming URL reaching the server. The following
