changed the url rewrite rules, now it can support:
[one level url]
 ~/rhel6   major version
 ~/rhel6.1 major.minor version
 ~/rhemrg  real time 
 ~/dell    vendor 

[two levels url]
 ~/rhel6/dell       major version + vendor
 ~/dell/rhel6       vendor + major version
 ~/dell/proi        vendor + make
 ~/3dvision/rhel6.1 vendor + major.minor version
 ~/rhel6.1/3dvision major.minor version + vendor

How will the patch work in the longer term as we look towards even more layers?

hardware.redhat.com/Dell/PowerEdge/RHEL7

hardware.redhat.com/Dell/PowerEdge/R915

hardware.redhat.com/ia64

if url levels are up to 3 and the combination elements could be arch, vendor, make, model and rhel version, then we need another way to provide friendly url, such as redirect to a perl script which dose some complicated works.

url redirect

with this url redirect, we can support all the combinations of arch, model, rhel version, etc.

urlmap.cgi

In practice will this retain the URL value of hardware.redhat.com/dell or does the user see the change over to urlcgi?value= ?

user can see the changed url, now we are using external explicit url redirect
