After reading this again - you don't seem to realize that HTLoadFile
is for loading *"file:"* URLs (and "ftp:" URLs, as described in
my other message).  Why would you expect it do load something via
the HTTP protocol?  It has nothing to do with that.

If you want access via HTTP, you need (directly or indirectly) HTLoadHTTP.

Don't confuse any of these with HTLoad, which is generic (and PRIVATE
to HTAccess.c).

Maybe you should describe what you want to do.  I have a suspicion
that cernrules can already do what you want.  Or, if not, that your
stuff should hook in at the same level.
