What's the exact way of identifying the correct date? Accordingly to the file timestamps on http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/i386/iso-cd/ beta4 images were build on 17. Nov 2012, but on http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/ there is no 20121117, so that would not work automatically I think. Thus hand-made things would be required (meaning including the correct dated link in beta-release announcements. Ok, that would be possible). IMHO it would be the best thing to do, to store the images in question under the http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/ path, isn't it? Let's say in http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/i386/other-images.
