Static file handler example

To try this example, you need GNU make and git in your PATH.

To build the example, run the following command:

$ make

To start the release in the foreground:

$ ./_rel/static_world_example/bin/static_world_example console

The example will serve all the files found in the priv directory. For example:

• Plain text file
• HTML5 video demo

Example output

$ curl -i http://localhost:8080/test.txt
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
