What's a (non-)RESTful URL? This is mentioned only in passing, please explain what you mean, perhaps with an example.

I'm not the author, but I suspect he means by a RESTful URL one that does not depend on state not represented in the URL, such as the session.

Interchange 5's /process action is a good example of this. But that's usually POSTed to. Many GET requests such as adding to cart, fetching a session-specific /scan URL, etc. are also problematic for being non-idempotent, not portable between users, or both.
