Visit archive of this mailinglist.
In september (this year) there was posting
} I have documented that, visit my blog
I don't remember authors name. Neither had time to check it

And in september I made some effort to answer simular question.
I think I hinted on checking the webserver log for 404 errors.
No hardfeelings. Feel free to report progress.
And yes, "progress" is explaining the new place where you are stuck.
