A 403? I am "forbidden to view this page"???
How rude!
I want an apology.
There is no reason to go posting links here for people to look at and then
setting your Web server to deny people access to the page you just offered
for us to read.
It's a silly and childish prank.
I think justice will be served if you apologize to everyone here and change
the permissions to make this COFF page of yours readable to anyone in this
list. And if it were just a dummy page, replace it with a real one with
real content about the file format.
In any case, I would think pranks like putting up a COFF web page that
isn't world readable and giving us a link to it so that we all go to have a
look and get told to f_ck off is beneath our station...we're computer
programmers, not kindergarten students in a game of "Keep Away".
