That's just an artefact of the way I ran my tests. What actually happens is that
bozohttpd generates an index.html with only relative links:

	<a href="xxxx">xxxx</a>

every time; while simple-http-server always generates absolute paths (from
server root) like this:

	<a href="/foo/bar/xxxx">xxxx</a>

Looks like pkg_add relies on a bozohttpd-like dir. listing. It should do something
like a basename(3) on the `href' links. Both lynx(1) and firefox treat both
link types the same.
