Yes, no one would want this crazy acquisition test being performed on =
his
server. But people do. Some visitors think this is fun ;-) Well, Deep =
Throat
was right. Trust no one.

Plus, VHM sometimes redirects visitors to a mapped folder prepending the
folder's id ( I don't know why, but it does happen from time to time ):
www.example.com/CMF, for example, where the url should have been just
"www.example.com". And that's where this madness starts.

Another situation with VHM: you log in as manager; manage your CMF =
sites;
while you're at it, try to add/edit some content; you put yourself into =
this
acquisition blackhole again.

What I'm worried is not myself making mistakes with the urls in the =
code.
What about visitors? Luckily, I run Squid before ZEO clients and can =

funny urls removing redundant path elements.=20

Without this redirect_program script, I can't prevent users from having =
fun
with this acquisition thing... or can I?=20
