This may not be an OmniWeb problem, as it causes similar behavior with the lynx browser (but
not with N*tSc*pe).
If I try to open
http://abacus.oxy.edu/QRD/.html/QRD-faq.html
OmniWeb dies. (lynx 2.3 returns the familiar "Congratulations, you have found a bug...")
Now I suppose it is in poor taste to have a directory named .html, but I didn't set up the
document tree, just the server. By looking at the server logs, I can see that OmniWeb doesn't
even open up a connection, it just chokes on the URL and dies.
Other documents in the tree, even in the .html directory, are browsable. The home page is
http://abacus.oxy.edu/QRD/
which is a mirror site for the Queer Resources Directory, it may not be your cup of tea.
I can have the directory name changed, but I think it would be more reasonable if the browser(s)
could handle it.
I suppose I'll send a bug report to lynx as well...
