Hi,
I am building a small web demo with fpweb. A httpapplication.

A html file from the folder 'files' needs to be shown.
No problem with a hardcoded path in the webmodule but a css file
mentioned in the html file pointed with '/files/signin.css' is not
accessible.
Therefor I use the procedure RegisterFileLocation('files',
'c:\somefiles'); to let the webserverapp know that anything  from
"files" needs to be redirected to "c:\somefiles".

Furthermore I created two actions in the webmodule, one of them is the
DefActionwhenUnkown.

If I point the browser to localhost:port I receive an error that 
"Could not determine HTTP module for request """ 
Without the RegisterFilLocation the application works but files in the
"files" folder are not accessible from the web.

I tried this with several Lazarus versions and operating systems
(lazarus 1.4 - 1.6) (win8, win10, ubuntu)
Everywhere the behavior is the same. So obviously I make a mistake. I
just don't see which one.

If you use a file registerlocation in your program you ALWAYS have to
use the module name in your browser. 
Even if you use one webmodule.

Just a guess: probably this could be solved with routing, at least
common sense says so
