No. If you have a busy site, the system will automatically append a uniquifier to the end of the mostly-timestamp-based cart. There was also a change in the length associated with "the number of seconds since the epoch" moving to the next range (more details than you need to know). > I need to know so that I can then base some rules on this for parsing a URL. URL parsing can be done via regex's or middle much more efficiently than assuming any given field has a specific length. Besides, the WebDNA engine already parses the URL for you, or are you trying to parse someone else's site? Tell us what you want to do, not how you've already decided to do it...
