Sorry, but I haven't had the chance to do anything with it yet. 

Dave Cole has since added some code that could also help. See his post,
http://www.object-craft.com.au/pipermail/albatross-users/2003-July/000682.html. I was wondering about using this to provide a "page" to serve the static content. The get_page_from_url() is not in 1.10pre2 but I guess it will not be too long before another release.
