To update the url look for #updateUrl: Sorry, I couldn't resist ;-)

Have a look at other implementors of #initialRequest:, they mostly
also implement #updateRoot: in a appropriate way. For example
WABrowser does so and comes with Seaside.

Seaside components (such as a ready made blog) and Seaside
applications at RESTful URLs without writing a single line of
code.</advert>
