If I implement subdirectories on my OP path, and use a texture like so:

create texture cw/texture

It works fine. The server gets a request for "/textures/cw/texture.jpg"

If I ask it to use a mask like so:

create texture cw/texture mask=cw/texturem

The server gets requests for both "/textures/cw/texture.jpg" and for
"/textures/cw/texturem.zip", but the mask is never applied and the
browser doesn't report an error. The root texture is not applied either
in that case.

If I manually create a subdirectory in the cache folder under the

\cache\art\{op-path-here}-\textures

directory by the name of 'cw' however, it becomes magically
populated with all of the images and masks, and the masks work
perfectly the way you would expect.

It would be nice if that worked the way you would expect
automatically. Seems all it would take would be to have the cache
management routines create subdirectories in my cache folder as
appropriate.. like whenever there are slashes in the name.

If you do look at this, it would be nice if create picture worked with
filenames that have slashes in them as well. It's likely to be a very
similar problem. I can see the request coming into the server and
being honored, but the images don't show up in the AW browser.
