Looks like the urls in the diff url is missing the Attic folder in the
path location for files in Attic. When this happens the server is
redirecting but isn't preserving the POST vars at the end of the url
hence the file not found. Adding Attic/ to the path location behind
cygserver in the original url avoided the redirect. So it is safe to
say that cvsweb needed the POST vars but I have no idea why they are
being discarded during the redirect.
P.S. - I apologize if anything I just stated is obvious.
