I can see rejecting .. to disallow access above the tree, but rejecting / doesn't make any sense to me. So we have to just plop everything down in one directory? If so, that's ridiculous. I think I need to be less critical of the forkers.

Hehehehe. It's not that we're deliberately forking off - it's more that:

1. pg has been talking about this language for years

2. he has built up a big fan club

3. he released arc in a "not-quite-done" state and unleashed a firestorm of third-party fixes

4. he hasn't updated arc again for more than a month or so.

So yes, although we're not deliberately forking off, I fear this is just what will happen unless pg updates us all again within the next few months, or puts major parts of Anarki in Arc3.

Yeah, I guess it's a case of "I'm the leader, which way did they go?" :)

The code that rejects slashes is in srv.arc: gifname and static-filetype. So static files with slashes are rejected.
