The code in this package demonstrates two workarounds for a problem when
using Apache Server Software's .htaccess file to control file leeching - commonly called "hotlinking."
The problem occurs in two situations: (1) in pop-up windows generated by JavaScript's window.open
command with the URL value set to null, and (2) when using <FRAME>s. Both of these situations can
cause Apache-based servers to deny otherwise valid requests for files.
