accounts.url Directive
======================
The accounts.url directive should point to a secure, preferably
localhost-only service. This makes it harder for attackers to brute force
the password or use DNS poisoning to cause the Tahoe-LAFS gateway to talk
with the wrong server, thereby revealing the username and passwords.
Tahoe-LAFS will send the credentials, email address and password to the
URI specified in the accounts.url directive. If the credentials are correct,
the server will return a rootcap string. Otherwise, it returns the string
"0" which means bad username and/or password.
