That's meant to be a throwback to the look and feel of the 90's when you saw so many bare bones Apache index.html listings that were something like that.

What you are seeing there is highly controlled, no-nonsense output, ie, what you might expect out of something that is a legitimate kind of "Linux" on the Web.

What I need to worry about on the backend is 500 errors that might leak some kind of info, and I am very vigilant of those... even though I think app engine does a pretty good job of making sure that nothing vital does get leaked out.

Haha, I can't imagine even one file anywhere in the world that I own that anyone would find immediate value in possessing. We can continue this conversation in the LOTW desktop... either via the Mail or Forum app (you need to create a user account first, but that's not too hard to figure out in the interface). Just hit the Start ahem the Begin button to find them!
