Hi List! (Resending due to a sourceforge bounce ...)

I'm trying to learn what Wt does do (and how to do it). So the answer to my question might well be no. Is it possible to support both link1, an app-rendered internal path, and page1.html, a plain, external html page, in the same "folder"? That is http://localhost/links/link http://localhost/links/page1.html (where "--deploy-path=/links")? I have a simple Wt test app (links.cpp) (that links to libwthttp so that it runs as a stand-alone web server) that implements (I think correctly) various internal paths. I deploy it to the "folder" links (i.e., "--deploy-path=/links"). The app implements a number of internal paths: link1, link2, etc., so they show up as urls: http://localhost/links/link1 http://localhost/links/link2 So far, so good. The application itself (links.exe) resides in a directory: ...\wt_test I use this directory (the current working directory) as the docroot (i.e., "--docroot=."). If I create a folder: ...\wt_test\links and put a regular html file in it: ...\wt_test\links\page1.html I cannot browse to it through my Wt app via the url: http://localhost/links/page1.html (If I try to, wthttpd starts a new session (?), calls my WApplication constructor with internalPath() = "/page1.html", and my onInternalPath internal-path handler function rejects it as an unknown internal path.) I CAN browse to (assuming they exist): http://localhost/page1.html http://localhost/links2/page1.html and if I use "--deploy-path=/" (rather than "--deploy-path=/links"), I CAN browse to: http://localhost/links/page1.html So it seems like I cannot mix internal and external links in the same "folder," in this case "links". Is this the case? I am not suggesting that Wt should support this. It's just that I haven't found the documentation to be very clear about what happens when you mix internal and external links, and I'm trying to understand what is going on. Thanks for any explanations. K.
