These files don't exist!

Yep, that's right, none of these files actually exist! There is a small server-side module that parses the file name, and generates the file. URLs behave like direct links to files.

So, there isn't a file called "cew_span_20131_20151_26163_5_336111.csv"

The server-side module consumes the file name, and figures out what should be inside.

And thats it.

There's no database either. Just a series of CSV proxy-slices that represent the data.
