Thanks Greg,
Was reading the page you linked to and it brought me to this comment which seems to be a worthy consideration http://drupal.org/node/160753#comment-257061, probably more worthy than actually being able to hack the URL. Global redirect appears to address the issue.
Regards, John.

The recent discussion about ".html" at the end of paths reminded me...
I've
been wondering about the reason why a trailing slash is not allowed in aliases created by the Path module.
There's an issue about it here: http://drupal.org/node/250525
Sometimes when I land on a page deep in a website, I want to see more of what the website is about. So I go up a few folders manually... eg. I
read
www.example.com/articles/internet/whyinternetisgood.html, then I manually enter the following into the URL: www.example.com/articles/ in order to
see
the index page containing all the articles.
That sounds like "hackable URLs" to me.
Any thoughts?
Sure, I created a video a while ago that discusses hackable URLs and then shows how to achieve this using Pathauto and Views: http://blip.tv/file/817271
Enjoy! Greg
