Readable URLs

Hello,

is there a way to make URLs more readable?
For example, instead of 
"http://server/cocoon/db/speeches?id=32&release_id=232" I would like 
to have something like 
"http://server/cocoon/db/speeches_2003-04-07.pdf". This has the 
advantage that the user is presented with a reasonable filename when 
he tries to save the file locally.

I could imagine that there are some sitemap directives to convert 
portions of the filename to request parameters. Is this possible?

Best regards,
Matthias Brunner

not in my knowledge.
The good news is that, IMHO, you don't need them: converting URI 
portions to sitemap variables and passing them along your pipeline 
should be enough, something like:

<map:match name="wildcard" pattern="sp-*.xml">
    	<map:generate src="documents/sp/{1}.xml"/>
	<map:transform src="stylesheets/general/gp.xsl"/>
     	<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
