The document name you requested (/eccentrics) could not be found on this server. However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested.
Available documents:
/eccentrics.pdf (common basename)
Please consider informing the owner of the referring page about the broken link.
So what did I do wrong? Sure if I click on the /eccentrics here in the message it does go there, but why won't it link directly?
TIA
Couldn't find the link on your site, but it certainly sounds as if you try to create a link to a non-existing /eccentrics instead of the file that is actually there /eccentrics.pdf ?
But maybe I misunderstood. I mean, why would it be a surprise that the link doesn't work. The only surprising thing about that is that the server is considerate enough to suggest something.
To link to a file you must have the FULL file name including the extension. A name without an extension is assumed to be a folder so by linking to /eccentrics what you are saying is look for file index.html in the folder /eccentrics.
