medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Curious, chris. After getting your message, I tried going to these
xoomer.virgilio.it links both directly and, in one case, through a
TinyURL proxy and had no difficulty with any of them. Since I was
working from the same machine from which I had posted the message in
the first place, to get around the possibility of any initial
authorizations having been saved in my browser's cache I repeated the
experiment first from the PC in my office and later from another
machine from which I had never visited the site in question. In these
cases, too, I was able to access the individual .jpgs without
incident. Possibly there's something in the way your browser is
configured that causes xooomer.virgilio.it to deny you direct access to
them. Puzzled in Madison, John Dillon
