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:

``` bash
$ make
```

To start the release in the foreground:

``` bash
$ ./_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](http://localhost:8080/test.txt)
 *  [HTML5 video demo](http://localhost:8080/video.html)

Example output
--------------

``` bash
$ curl -i http://localhost:8080/test.txt
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
connection: keep-alive
