My software is simple. The idea must be really beyond 
description, but if you ask any webmaster, it makes 
complete sense. The package is not geared to every 
individual. Hence it makes little or no sense to your 
average joe without extreme explanation.

Web redirects allow you to have a domain name, redirect to 
a fixed URL at a different location as if your server had 
the domain name in question.

http://www.domain.com -> 
http://someotherhost.someotherdomain.com/mydirectory

However, these webredirects are hardcoded, and do not 
transmit the URI (yet another webmaster/ietf term)

so that http://www.domain.com/somedirectory gets translated 
to http://someotherhost.someotherdomain.com/mydirectory - 
notice we lost the /somedirectory part.

This project simply does one thing well.

When it receives redirect, it checks the URI of the 
redirect, verifies if there is part of the URI missing in 
the current page request and redirects the user's browser 
to this correct page.

How difficult is that? Intellectually very complicated. 
Technologically very intricate to do. But the actual 
process is VERY VERY VERY simple.

So you tell me. What explanation do you require to 
legitimize something that I should be able to just create 
and hand out to everyone.

I have included this description both in the submissions I 
have made, as well as the zip file I emailed you.

I am not getting much satisfaction if any.

Is there a higher authority that I can talk to? Someone 
that has a little more leeway or is a little more willing 
to publish me on Savannah before I end up having to go post 
on FreshMeat and SlashDot about where NOT to post your 
project????

Come on. This is ridiculous.
