Sadly this change broke every script I had which followed the old instructions for putting ack on a box:

    curl http://betterthangrep.com/ack-standalone > ~/bin/ack && chmod 0755 !#:3

Now gives a Nginx 302 text/html page. Yes, yes, I should have done curl -L, but those are the instructions they had pasted on the box.

In addition just changing the hostname

    curl http://beyondgrep.com/ack-standalone

just gives a 404.
