How do I redirect requests for an entire URL tree in CL-HTTP?
NCSA's httpd has a Redirect directive
        (see http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/setup/srm/Redirect.html)
that works on everything below a certain point.  But when I try to do
it the obvious way in CL-HTTP 53.7, 

(export-url #u"/Old/Stuff/"
            :redirect
	    :recursive-p t
            :expiration `(:interval ,(* 15. 60.))
	    :alternate-urls #u"http://new-server/New/Home/")

the result is that /Old/Stuff/ is redirected to http://new-server/New/Home/
but /Old/Stuff/foo/bar is not redirected to http://new-server/New/Home/foo/bar.
