This works. The trouble is, I am pretty sure it used to work before with
simple-http-server, so I don't know what has changed since then. I tried my
last 10.99.14 build and it failed the same as 11.99.1 this time.

As long as the reason for the failure is clear, I'm ok; maybe I am mistaken
about how it used to work, my previous build was probably three months ago so I
may be wrong on that. It is only the system pkg_add which is having the issue -
pkgin works fine against simple-http-server after the installation as it is.
