.htaccess directs the request to index.php
at the end of index.php you will find
/* execute the request handler */
if (!MODX_API_MODE) {
$modx->handleRequest();
}
search for 'handleRequest' and the most promising result is
/**
* The primary MODX request handler (a.k.a. controller).
*
* @return boolean True if a request is handled without interruption.
*/
public function handleRequest() {
$this->loadErrorHandler();
$this->sanitizeRequest();
$this->modx->invokeEvent('OnHandleRequest');
if (!$this->modx->checkSiteStatus()) {
header('HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable');
if (!$this->modx->getOption('site_unavailable_page',null,1)) {
$this->modx->resource = $this->modx->newObject('modDocument');
...snip... function is about 70 lines of code
found in model/modx/modrequest.class.php
The rest as they say is left as exercise for the reader!!!
OK - a bit more on down the same file a bit
/**
* Gets the method used to request a resource.
*
* @return string 'alias', 'id', or an empty string.
*/
public function getResourceMethod() {
$method = '';
if ($this->modx->getOption('request_method_strict', null, false)) {
$method = $this->modx->getOption('friendly_urls', null, false) ? 'alias' : 'id';
} else {
if (isset ($_REQUEST[$this->modx->getOption('request_param_alias',null,'q')])) {
$method = "alias";
} elseif (isset ($_REQUEST[$this->modx->getOption('request_param_id',null,'id')])) {
$method = "id";
}
}
return $method;
}
good luck sleuthing , have fun and why do you want to know?
