Well... it is certainly possible that I am going about this all wrong.

I was trying to figure out how to serve images from the nevow server to
go along with my web pages. This was the first way I figured to do that.

If there is a better way, I am certainly willing to use it.

Is this code flawed in some way?  When I try to run it without that patch,
I get an error like this trying to load the root url:
