There are other ways to redirect the html_node directory without any

The URL is redirected to something like this:

Thanks a lot for these pointers, Thérèse. It has been probably 15 years
since I messed with an .htaccess file. I started my career in web
development for e-commerce, was traumatized by an utterly horrible
language called PHP (3.x!), saw that the exciting new thing was
_another_ utterly horrible language called Javascript,[1] and ran as
fast as I could into the warm embrace of systems programming.

[1] ECMA has made Javascript much less horrible. But for me, the
language will always carry the shame of its origins.
I added a RedirectMatch directive similar to the one above to the
site-wide .htaccess. Now the html_node URLs work.
Best,
Thérèse
