Hello, It'd be nice if it showed an error and aborted cleanly instead of segfaulting.
However, at this stage, Wt cannot do anything to avoid segfaults: if I try to write to some file and my code does not catch exceptions or check the return code from the ofstream, the application will segfault. It'd be easy to modify the example to catch the exception and show some useful message like "docroot is not writable". Ideally, libwt would be able to intercept fopen, fwrite, etc in libc and redirect them to the docroot directory. Some LD_PRELOAD (Unix) or SetWindowHookEx (Windows) magic would be needed for that. This would be a very nice Summer of Code project, in my opinion.
