The version of Apache running on the new web servers has a bug.

HTTP_HOST = inwap.best.vwh.net
SERVER_NAME = inwap.com
SERVER_SIGNATURE = "Apache/1.3.19 Ben-SSL/1.42 Server at inwap.com Port 80"

If you enter a directory URL that is lacking a trailing slash
(like http://inwap.best.vwh.net/u/joe), the web server send back a
response redirecting the browser to the correct URL.  Unfortunately it
is sending "http://inwap.com:80/u/joe/" instead of
"http://inwap.best.vwh.net/u/joe/".  That is, $SERVER_NAME is set
to `uname -n` instead of $ENV{HTTP_HOST}.

Currently, "inwap.com" points to my old dialup static IP address, not
a web server.

Warning: Check you own links.  Put trailing slashes on all HREFs that
point to directories.
