I found the problem, 
You were right, 

in HTTP request, i passed a directory name without a trailing slash "/".
The browser doesn't understand it's a directory, then every relative links 
sucks !

the same behaviour append with AWS, 
if you just remove the trailing "/" when browsing a directory, you will see 
the same thing ..

Indeed,
I saw in the HTTP protocol, that it is possible to specify a Location field in 
the response header to specified the file browsed. that can probably help, 
specifically if you want to redirect a directory URL to an index file, and if 
you want the browser to refere the good location.

am i right ??

but, be confident pascal, AWS is really great !! 
I'm currently developping an image web server to manage my 3 go of pictures.
Thank's to aws features and jpeglib (i just only support jpegs for the moment) 
i think a can have a really complete application.
all source are under GPL and be very soon released for the first time.

I started building a standalone web server, but it can be quite easy to make a 
hotplug interface for AWS


best regards,
Patrice
