hi all!
the problem is me. the handler works fine with a full, existing path. the
problem occurs when i think that a request for a directory is just like a
request for a file, which is isn't.
basically, i need to handle setting cookies with a redirect, then this
problem along with a related one for images go away.
sorry to bother you all,
aaron
