 prefixing a new root onto the front of the file name and then
 re-issuing (proxying) a request.

Truth, honesty and respect are rare commodities that all spring from
the same well: Love.  If you love yourself and everyone and everything
around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
