Yeah, it's bitrotted. I've been thinking of taking it out of the Tahoe
executable per se, and instead have a standalone program (included in
the source distribution). That would remove the dependency on Numeric,
and reduce the surface for injection attacks.

To use it, you'd run something like
./misc/operations_helpers/provisioning.py, and that would run a little
server, and then use the "webbrowser" module to pop open a browser
window to a new page, which would look just like the old Provisioning
page but would have *just* that one page, no other file upload/download
functionality.

I'll incorporate your patch when I do that code-surgery.

thanks!
