Strange problem with the http server

Post by hendrixj »

I'm running the http server with the web pages stored on my sdcard. (I'm actually using the software put out by Dr Dobb's, http://www.ddj.com/embedded/211300170.)

I have an index.html file for a standard photo album (generated by Jalbum): i.e., thumbnails in a folder named thumbs and bigger pictures in another folder.

The thumbnails won't load. When I view source, I see that the path to the thumbnails looks like: src=" /picture1.jpg", instead of: src="thumbs/picture1.jpg". (The latter is what is actually in the file on the sdcard.)

Strange. On a lark, I changed the file to: src="./thumbs/picture1.jpg" and it worked. (No blanked out directory.)

Can anyone think of a reason that "thumbs/picture1.jpg" becomes " /picture1.jpg" over the http server? (While, at the same time, "./thumbs/picture1.jpg" works fine.)

I should say nevermind. I realize now that Dr Dobb's software specifies its own Get function. I just need to debug it.
Thanks anyway.
