If I do this then all files are local to the machine where the browser is 
running. Works great for a browser running on that machine, but when it's 
deployed the files that we want developers to be able to search for will 
only be on one server. This means that they are not seeing the files on the 
remote machine. I don't think this will work in the long run..

Is there a way to get this correct in the .conf file

OR

should I use the solution mentioned below; and if so what is the name of 
this helper app that is mentioned? Where do I get it and how do I configure it

SWISH-E uses a helper app to download files using HTTP.  It looks like
SWISH is having problems running it.  The error message seems to
indicate that the executable name is being left off but looking at the
source code, I don't see how that's possible.  Anyone else want to
hazard a guess?
