Yes. That should be an option. I have no idea why I didn't come up
with that before, instead using the somewhat complex construct of
resorting to disc access. Ah. I see. It's this bit of the apache
configuration which is the cause (caused by trying to support Mark E's
fetish for maintaining old URLs along the line of thought of "Good
URLs don't change"):
