Web Server Demo Program

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hi,

we set up the web server based on rtems-ss-
20021111, and were a bit confused, because the 
web server did not automatically assume 
"index.html" in the root directory as default web 
page. We got the Browser/server working properly, 
when we explicitly specified an URL like:  

"http://123.234.45.56/index.html"

but it did not work with 

"http://123.234.45.56/"

We did not investigate further up to now. Does 
this help?

wkr,
	Thomas.
