Being a lighttpd user, I do not know much about Apache and even less
about its configuration. What I can tell you is how to determine if this
is Apache- or web.py-specific: temporarily remove the entire CGI
configuration altogether and try to access plain files with and without
the .htaccess file. If you get the same behaviour, it is purely Apache
related. If not, it could be web.py related or Apache + CGI related or both.
