That's a problem with the CMS, not the URL.
And every CMS I've ever used has a "friendly URL" option which basically just puts the logical location (e.g. fred.com/section/subsection/page) as the URL string.
There's nothing worse than copy-pasting an Amazon string, even and discovering a pile of unnecessary junk on the end of it.
