Hmmm. Still having trouble. I tried:
(lexical-let ((docroot "/home/jwhendy/Desktop/e-web-server-test"))
(ws-start
(list (cons (cons :GET ".*")
(lambda (request)
(with-slots (process headers) request
(let ((path (substring (cdr (assoc :GET headers)) 1)))
(if (ws-in-directory-p docroot path)
(ws-send-file process (expand-file-name path docroot))
(ws-send-404 process)))))))
9003))
That directory contains just two .org files. When I open
localhost:9003, it downloads a file called `download`, containing the
following:
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-type: text/plain
Caught Error: (error "IO error reading
/home/jwhendy/Desktop/e-web-server-test: Is a directory")
So, I then tried with the first line like so (trailing slash):
(lexical-let ((docroot "/home/jwhendy/Desktop/e-web-server-test/"))
Then I'm back to the 404 error. Sorry if I'm being dense and didn't
follow something else implied. I noticed the tutorial mentioned
mime-types. Do I need to set something with xdg-mime for .org files or
do anything else other than simply doing (require 'web-server)?
Since the hello world example worked, I'm assuming the setup is at
least partially sound.
I did wonder why I get no completions for `M-x ws-TAB`. Should emacs
be aware of ws-* functions? Or is that not how one would run them
(e.g. M-x something is actually a command, not a function and my
nomenclature is incorrect)?
Thanks,
John
