    http://localhost/dwww/

If you've allowed remote system access, then:

    http://somehost/dwww/

...should work.

Note that because dwww reveals the contents of /usr/share/doc/, it's
possible for a remote user to determine software installed on your
system, and possibly, mount an attack on a known vulnerability.  Some
people avoid such information leakage.


Peace.
