Hence my vain desire for a location for gauges-data.txt relative to
index.html rather than an absolute one.

My Web Hosting Provider (WHP) takes a great deal of care to harden my
webserver for me.  My opening a local webserver on my desktop machine
would expose me to a lot of unknown risk.  I fool with *nginx* over
there, not over here.

P.S.: The same may be said for MQTT.  I run a local
(non-websockets-capable) mosquitto broker, but I find all the
javascript libraries give that the horse-laugh.  Would that browser
support for python scripting were more prevalent....  <sigh>
