This seems a little "hackish" to me to add a whole server URL just for an index 
of files. It would seem to make more sense to make this fit into the existing 
duplicity methods, or rewrite duplicity for a new methodology. Feature requests 
like this, if they just get tacked on, can create some rather unstable, 
thinly-spread software. Then again, maybe it isn't that bad, and maybe it's a 
good idea. Maybe being allowed to select exactly what is set where, etc., is a 
good thing. Hmm...

Oh, and before anyone gets any ideas, I'm not a developer (yet ;) ) and I don't 
mean to represent them. Sorry, guys, if I've given any false 
hopes/disappointments.
