This is because menu 2.1.27 adds support for the `removecommand'
keyword. However, I've just checked that 2.1.24 ignores unknown keywords
in menu-method files, so I'll lower the menu dependency in the next
version of dwww.

Yeah, I can see it - the dir URI does not end with '/', will be fixed
soon in dwww.

And this is the boa bug. When the URI for directory does not end with
'/', dwww makes use of the $SERVER_NAME and $SERVER_PORT CGI variables
to send redirect to proper location (ending with the slash character).
However boa does not set them correctly (SERVER_NAME is empty,
SERVER_PORT is 0).
The bug seems to be fixed by the upstream in boa 0.94.14rc21. I'm
attaching a simple patch based on this version.

In this case, with boa, dwww will redirect the browser to
http://:0/cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/emelfm/?type=dir
which obviously won't work.
