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
