I later noticed that this seems to be a strange bug (feature?) - if you
get to a directory listing URL and don't add the trailing / , you'll get
the bogus page I describes.

If you do add that /, you'll get a nicer page.

http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony

http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/

Either those are two display modes, or this is a bug. With such an
obfuscation script, I can't really tell.
