You're running into the problem that ht://Dig falls back on HTTP when it
can't figure out how to resolve the URL into a local file. For example,
over HTTP, a URL to <http://www.foo.com/bar> actually becomes a redirect to
<http://www.foo.com/bar/> and the directory is indexed.
It would be nice to kill HTTP alltogether. But what do you do when you
can't resolve the URL? Ignore it completely? I'm not sure what the action
should be if it doesn't have HTTP access. Input is welcome! :-)
