Re: Zinc as static file server

Ahh. Must be absolute file paths then. Sorry to send you down the
wrong path

It is not the most beautiful of methods, but it is a crucial one for static file serving. There is indeed a difference between the URI/URL you're asking for and the directory on the file system where the file is found - the prefix part can be different.

Asking questions is OK.

Re: Zinc as static file server

I dug further and I discovered that:

* On Pharo2 you can specify absolute or relative path. Everything's fine.
* On Pharo1.4 relative path does not work! Try it and then open your browser on the chosen url, you gonna receive: InvalidDirectoryError. Indeed if you debug the, now, well-known method actualFilenameFor: you'll see the temporary variable subDir has the slash ahead even if you specify a relative path. Diabolic :-) :-)
