I'm using a zope product called AcquiringFolder, but I don't really know 
much about that, I found nothing about that on the web. Sorry about my 
ignorance, but I'm working on a site originally written by someone else, 
+ I'm a zope newbie and all that.

Apache rules are a last resort in this case for manageability reasons. 
(Actually I think I'm not going to use that in any case, I'll just 
modify the structure of the user interface a bit, if I can't get this 
working)
