something like this is actually in index.jsp, but the file is somehow
not accessible.

http://www.crosswire.org/icons/crosswire.ico

results in a 404 error, despite the file being in the directory, the
directory being readable and the file too.

I have now copied the file over into ~crosswire/html/images and link to
it there. Now it works. Do not ask me why - but i would appreciate an
explanation why it works if anyone has one.

Thanks

Peter
