Okay thanks, I'll change that and give it a try.

Thanks.  Hopefully your examples will help.

Okay.  So I guess if the server decides that the directory is inhibited or 
non existent, it can change it?
eg. change VDirectory param to current path rather than path requested? 
And/or can you send a failure response to the request?

Okay.  I'll modify the code.
