Hi Kåre As a possible work-around, you could try accessing an object you know will always be there - for example one of the system content model objects;
eg http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects/fedora-system:FedoraObject-3.0 Perhaps we should consider using a system object in the sample access URL?
