Hosting "real" files over fossil-cgi is also slightly problematic because we
have to manually construct full hyperlinks (including the protocol and
domain name). We can't use e.g. [/download/foo.zip] in a wiki page because
the path won't resolve properly for that use case. It resolves to
/path/to/cgi-script.cgi/download/foo.zip.
