Subject: web: when a dirnode can't be read, emit a regular HTML page but with the child-table... 
X-Git-Tag: allmydata-tahoe-1.4.0~83
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/components/com_hotproperty/frontends/%3C?a=commitdiff_plain;h=950200fece339667e39bda1a150a44db130044f8;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

web: when a dirnode can't be read, emit a regular HTML page but with the child-table and upload-forms replaced with an apologetic message. Make sure to include the 'get info' links so the user can do a filecheck
