Hello Alonzo!

On 06 Mar 2023, Alonzo said the following...

The built-in web server (as far as I know) will only serve files "for download", i.e. if your web browser doesn't know how to view the file in question (which it probably doesn't if doesn't recognize the MIME type or file extension of the file), then it will simply ask you to save it to disk.

So it is not a "viewport" to the BBS but rather intended for simple serving of files (and the WWW download function that can be enabled for file downloads from the BBS).

Best regards
