One caveat -- I had a problem serving uploads that had histories
(multiple versions). When you see them in ComSwiki, you'll note the
little (15) in parentheses next to them, indicating there is a
history of five file versions stored. In ComSwiki, if you click that,
it will display all versions. If you are serving through an external
web server, it won't without some work -- the URL of the versions
page created by ComSwiki is the same as that of the latest version,
with "?history=true" (I think that's correct) tacked onto the end.
The external web server either has to know what to do with that, or
redirect those requests back to ComSwiki.
