    I tried renaming WebKit/OneShot.cgi to index.cgi to use it as the
    default DirectoryIndex.  If I access it as

        http://www.justrestingsw.com/index.cgi

    everything works as expected.  If I access it as

        http://www.justrestingsw.com/

    I get an infinite loop of 301 redirects.

I found the source of the infinite loop.  It's happening in
Application.handleDeficientDirectoryURL.  If I change the code at the start
to 

        if transaction.request().uri() == "/":
                newURL = "/index.cgi/"
        else:
                uri = string.split(transaction.request().uri(), '?')
                uriEnd = string.split(uri[0], '/')[-1]
                # @@ gat 2000-05-19: this was changed to use a relative redirect 
starting with "." to force
                # a client redirect instead of a server redirect.  This fixes problems 
on IIS.
                uri[0] = './' + uriEnd + '/'
                newURL = string.join(uri, '?')

the infinite loop disappears, but this requires the assumption that
index.cgi is the DirectoryIndex handler.  Is there some way to do this in a
less fragile manner?
