   No, because it's trying to retrieve from a different part of the   
   server, that part set aside for .cs files.  But that's not configured,   
   so instead of telling them "file not found" (and disclosing the   
   non-existence of the directory", it gives you a generic "forbidden".   
      
   But I'm sure you knew all that.  That's what I like about you:   
   your attention to detail.

   Is it "a pest" to get your web site working they way you want it?   
      
   Also: you cut off my suggestion that you get your own web server,   
   and stop using a hosting service.  Or are you not a he-man Linux user?   
      
   Besides, someone gave you the fix (a line for .htaccess) yesterday,   
   which you completely ignored.   
      
   In the future, maybe read the docs?  Nobody will want to help you   
   after the way you constantly abuse them.   
      
   Finally, a question: Why would you refer to Apache server configuration   
   as "network programming"?  Were you just not thinking when you posted that?   
   Senior moment, perhaps?
