If you are sharing over plain http (which is what it sounds like) you 
need to configure the archive to create .listing files (plain http 
doesn't support directory listings).

Since you already have the archive available the easiest thing to do is:

$ echo "it does" > $archivepath/\=meta-info/http-blows
$ tla archive-fixup $archive

Where $archivepath is the location of the archive (it needs to be on the 
local filesystem so you can create the http-blows file). And $archive is 
the archive name (eg, lord@emf.net--gnu-arch-2004)

If you are creating a new archive that will be shared over http, you can 
create the http-blows file in the initial step by supplying the -l or 
--listing flag to tla make-archive
