[Derek Winkler]

Even better would be \.html?$

Cool, I think I've got it working using that example.  There was one
minor change I made though, to the html line:

allow           \.htm.*$

The original was:
allow           \.htm*$

I made the change because I think the original had a typo...  Unless I'm
misreading (or forgetting how regex's work), that one means it'll match
.ht, .htm, and .htmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm(and however many more m's you want)
file, but not .html files. :)

Other than fixing the typo it seems to work.

Thanx!
