What can I tell you, folks?  My evil twin apparently snuck into my office
and inserted this out and out error.  Most servers do indeed send a 301 or
302 error which redirects the browser to "<directoryname>/".  Which still
doesn't justify a server saying in effect "you have to take some action to
revise your end of this business because we're too busy to send you two
HTTP headers instead of one."
