Jacob meant a general format
http://www.lugnet.com/news/ldraw.cgi?lugnet.cad.dat:nnnn
where nnnn is an article number.

That is in fact exactly what something like
http://www.lugnet.com/news/ldraw.cgi?lugnet.cad.dat:100
does. Note that there are two scripts in the /news/ directory --
display.cgi -- displays full article text
ldraw.cgi -- serves raw DAT content
Now that there is a form-upload, BTW, which makes uploading DAT files much,
much easier, I'll probably have it add a special marker to the articles it
creates so that the DAT content can be extracted from the article 100% exactly
as it was originally uploaded. (The current ldraw.cgi strips blank lines and
comments from DAT content, which isn't so great, but it was just a temporary
solution.)
The URL samples above will probably look more like this in the future:
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dat/?nnnn
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dat/?Xnnnn
where nnnn is an article number and X is some optional special symbol to
request the file be served in its native form as raw DAT content
(application/x-ldraw) rather than a web page (text/html).
