Surprising, I don't see that locally, and I don't see how that could be the case. > > - If I go to localhost:9003/personal.org (I threw my non-work notes > file into that directory), it downloads the file. > This is expected. Note, you could serve other file types as well, what this example was meant to illustrate is how the web-server will set the mime-type appropriately based on the file type (e.g., serving foo.jpg with the "image/jpeg" type).

If you do want to serve files like this locally then it is probably worth it to update your web-server install and try again. If you do update make sure you stop old servers before starting new ones, e.g., by executing the following. (mapc #'ws-stop ws-servers) > > > Thanks again for persisting with me! Sure thing.
