Plain prerendered html5 with no JS was not available?

What makes you think www.ubuntu.com is not prerendered html5?

And since

http://design.canonical.com/2014/03/making-ubuntu-com-respon...

goes 404, I assume there's a handler that built the page on the fly.

No?

No, e.g. I use this rule in my .htaccess on my blog:

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*\.html$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html
Which means you can access:

http://tycho.ws/music or http://tycho.ws/music.html

chris_mahan
ok, so where's the .html file for that page?

I suppose it isn't obvious from the rule I gave, but it doesn't necessarily have to even be web accessible. Why does it matter so much anyway?
