Is there a way to serve files via symbolic links
See original GitHub issueI’ve a simple website that load JS scripts, and during development of some of those scripts (libraries held elsewhere) I want to use a symbolic link from the website folder to the library ‘dist’ file.
When I do this, ws gives a 404 error rather than following the symbolic link and loading the script (e.g. when referenced using <script> in index.html).
Is there a way to do this?
I’m on Ubuntu Linux, using ws --version 2.5.6

no probs, these things happen… let me know if you find anything else!
Yes. Oh dear, BIG apology for this. I couldn’t see the discrepancy. Thanks very much for your patience and sharp eyes.
Now works, including with symlinks, because I had the wrong filename. Nothing to do with
ws.
