The AddHref line I'm currently using to test is:
AddHref http://www-ns.rutgers.edu/ .tar.Z .gz .zip .zoo
I've also used
AddHref /htbin/unarch? .tar.Z .gz .zip .zoo
and
AddHref /htbin/ls .tar.Z .gz .zip .zoo

Umm, the AddHref line just makes the icon point to the top of my test
server. Nothing fancy. (AddHref http://aristarchus.rutgers.edu/ .tar.Z)

OK, I'll take a look at providing AddHref support in access.conf and
.htaccess.

Right, the problem is that if LinkIcons is ON, you can miss the
special reference (ie: AddHref). My question is do you guys think
there's a way to keep LinkIcons _AND_ special references on the same
page while making special references stand out in some non-annoying
manner? I think the answer is going to be no, but we'll provide
LinkIcons anyway (with AddHref support in access.conf and .htaccess)
and let the service maintainer deal with it.
I'll finish up the code changes today, and hopefully have the patch
off to Guenther late today.
