They must do a pretty good job of automating the removal of such packages because I get a 404 from that link.

I'll have to read up on literary tropes as I'm having a hard time picking out which ones are being explored in some of the stories. For example, the city of "Armilla" is described as being nothing but a series of pipes t

Right, I understand that. What I probably should have made more clear was whether it was trying to get to /etc/shadow, or another .../etc/shadow.php file located somewhere within the web-server's file directory.

Being as confusing as possible actually seems like a really good tactic. Depending on the web server and frameworks installed, couldn't etc/shadow.php actually be a file in a common framework? Also, if I wanted to be extra obscure

You mention the issue being with OOP, but wouldn't you run into the same issue with any nested structure? I think the "impedance mismatch" as it's called is that in programming languages parent elements point to their ch

I've also been slowly learning Common Lisp and the good news is that #1 and #2 are likely going to coincide! You'll add/update route handlers as the web-server is already bound to a port and listening for requests. Throw in s
