Alright, that's not really very different from what I tested, but just to
be safe I'll find some time to test a static file in a subdirectory. I
don't think that should be different from a file at the root of course.

You certainly don't need that bit above, but it probably doesn't hurt
anything.

I'll have to find time to test this on Linux I guess, in case it's
behaving differently. On Windows, it definitely works in the mode you're
testing it now.

I doubt it, I wouldn't waste your time.

But I probably won't have a chance to test this further until next week or
so.
