I've installed two extensions:  SteelSeries Weather Gauges
(https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-steelseries) and Rtgd
(https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-realtime_gauge-data).  A frequently
updated gauges-data.txt file is found at public_html/.  A
less-frequently updated gauges-data.txt file is found at
public_html/ss/.

Both files are ftp'd to my web server, and — in fact — the page at
https://lacusveris.com/Weather/ss/index.html does find the frequently
updated gauges-data.txt file.

The SteelSeries Weather Gauges Extension specifies (in
ss/scripts/gauges.js) that, "The realtime files should be absolute
paths, "/xxx.txt" refers to the public root of your web server," but
the nearby specification:

> realTimeUrlWeewx   : 'gauge-data.txt'

... does not appear to be an absolute path. I suppose IT IS though.

Of course, in weewx.conf [RealtimeGaugeData], rtgd_path is "Path to
gauge-data.txt. Relative paths are relative to HTML_ROOT. If empty[,]
HTML_ROOT is used."

In summary, each of the two extensions has a specification for the
path to the gauge-data.txt file, but one is absolute and one is
relative.  Is there some way I can write the ss/scripts/gauges.js
specification so that gauge-data.txt can be found relative to
HTML_ROOT?  It doesn't look like it.

I don't really want to hit my web server.  Instead, I want to browse
locally to file:///home/ccrhode/weewx-data/public_html/ss/index.html
so that I can do away with my old Ambient USB console in favor of a
new console-less Ecowitt WiFi gateway and still see near realtime
indicators.  Please tell me I'm being unreasonable.
