You should have just tried the URL that I gave to you, without your 
changing it to something different.

Ironically, Bernstein publicfile is part of the package at hand, and 
this is the documented behaviour of publicfile, in its original 
Bernstein manual:

 > A request for http://v/f refers to the file named ./v/f inside 
the root directory hierarchy, if f does not end with a slash.

 > httpd will refuse to read a file if the file [...] is anything other 
than a regular file: a directory, socket, device, etc.

publicfile isn't going to let you read the WWW server's directories 
directly with URL tricks.  You attempt that in vain.  (-:  For *not* 
trying to trick the WWW server, and simply reading the blurb and the 
download instructions, just use the actual URL that I gave.
