just a warning: it's not reasonable for chandler to make do a simple
string substitution of /pim for /mc. what if someday we partition hub
so that different servers handle web and morse code and their urls
have different authorities?

in the epic treatise i wrote just a minute ago, i gave some
suggestions for how to more safely transform the pim url to an mc url.
it still makes one assumption, but it's a pretty safe one. if for
completeness' sake you think you need to do this, then okay, but i
still think it's cheesy :D
