I configure a Mirror Directory resource, say named "mdr", in my root resource, and set its mirrors attribute to "http://mirrored.machine.name". I would *think* asking for "http://jigsaw.server/mdr/file.html" would yield the equivalent of "http://mirrored.machine.name/file.html", but rather it points to "http://mirrored.machine.name/mdr/file.html". I spent half a day figuring why I kept getting file not found errors! I think this behavior is confusing, and should either be changed or documented better. I would think that if I actually wanted this behavior I would set the mdr resource's mirrors attribute to be "http://mirrored.machine.name/mdr". Damn Microsoft IIS doesn't give the URL requested as part of the 404 Object Not Found error, it wasn't till I pointed the mirror at my Apache server that I figured out what was really going on. Nice to see Jigsaw, like Apache, also returns the URL requested with the 404 error. Chris Hubick mailto:hubick@medlib.com http://hubick.medlib.com/
