[Twisted-web] twisted web and css files

Thanks for the info.

I have checked out contentTypes and it would appear to be present {css:
text/css).

What I have not been able to pin down is where the content type is being
set or unset or being left as html.

Chrome seems to read in the css file but still does not do what I expect.
Firefox still says it will not load the resource.

So everyone can find it but they all say it is typed as text/html.

I imagine no one else has seen this, since all the comments I see say that
once they set up the static File it all starts to work.

Looks like more ploughing through docs and code.

Thanks
