Win7 users get 404 errors when using RippleSites folder #107

Have not been able to reproduce this personally (using WinXP). However developers at DevCon EMEA reported that, even though they have everything setup correctly, they receive 404 errors when using Ripple to access the RippleSites folder using http://localhost:9900

This is a known issue or more like Ripple is designed exactly what is designed for. The user has to put the full path the file that he wants emulated in Ripple otherwise you do get the 404 error. Ripple should not show the file structure of the RippleSites folder.

Agreed it should not show the file folder.

However there is confusion among developers when using the "localhost:9900" domain and port. The convention when using web domains is that it is acceptable to leave out a default file name when submitting a request. It should resolve to index.html or index.htm (similar to the behavior of a web server).
