What's the exact way of identifying the correct date?
Accordingly to the file timestamps on
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/i386/iso-cd/
beta4 images were build on 17. Nov 2012, but on
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/
there is no 20121117, so that would not work automatically I think.
Thus hand-made things would be required (meaning including the correct
dated link in beta-release announcements. Ok, that would be possible).
IMHO it would be the best thing to do, to store the images in question
under the http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/ path, isn't it?
Let's say in
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/i386/other-images.
Greetings
Holger
