Yes.

In your repository 'libs/checks/index.html' should redirect to
'libs/checks/doc/html/index.html' which should then redirect to
'http://boost-sandbox.sourceforget.net/libs/checks/doc/html/index.html'.
When you build the documentation it will overwrite
'libs/checks/doc/html/index.html' so then 'libs/checks/index.html'
will then redirect to the offline copy.

You can see that in practise in the geometry documentation.

If I go to that directory it appears empty, but I can still get to
'/home/project-web/boost-sandbox' by entering it into the 'remote
site' input box. I think it's a quirk of how their ftp server is
setup.
