What I'm concerned about is that the web site is dependant upon web server specific configuration that none of the mirror sites are conscious of. Either we fix that, by telling the mirror sites to add X configuration to their server, or we fix the documentation. Nik's original argument (in the web site revision thread a few weeks ago) was that we can't dictate what servers the mirrors are running, and on that basis I suggest that we shouldn't be depending upon any special web server configuration. I'm happy to search through the existing docs looking for references to the places that are 'Redirect'ed if there aren't any doc people who've got time. Is this what you're sugesting 8@).
