return of "403 forbidden" when opening multiple files with same base name #18

Using recent git versions of emacs, impatient-mode, and simple-httpd, I am seeing the "403 forbidden" errors that used to be common when users enabled impatient-mode for more than one index.html or style.css file at a time. My impression is that this has to do with the inperpretation of / characters in buffer names with uniquify-buffer-names set to "forward".

Setting uniquify-buffer-names to 'reverse seems to be a functional workaround, but I haven't tested it extensively yet.

It's not clear to me how to actually fix the issue, though. IIUC path names are set in both httpd/imp/live and http/imp/buffer, and the relationship between html files and their assets is set with imp-related-files. I experimented a bit but ended up with a mess; some notes are in https://github.com/netguy204/imp.el/issues/33#issuecomment-455400489.

Thanks for this super-important piece of infrastructure!

(also not clear to me why more people don't have the same issue -- I don't immediately see anything in my setup that should be causing this).
