Ah. But what if the server is running SSL - or what if the root page is
protected by basic or some other such form of auth or access control? I
can work up some elaborate setup in which a request from the server's own
IP address will pass all these checks. Or I can push auth modules that
return OK on non-main requests.
But this is pretty scary--and hard to maintain as servers change IP ad-
dresses or DNS names shift (yes, we can handle the address/name shifts
via <Perl> sections, but this seems overkill for what [I had thought]
would be a simple problem that should have been an easy solve).
(As you said, one would think that dir_config [called on a server object]
should have done the trick.)
