Hello!! Im having problems with this example: http://mbed.org/users/donatien/programs/HTTPServerExample/5yh58

I have an html page on the root directory of the mbed, but when I try to load it from a web browser, it says that the page couldnt be found. The ethernet hardware works fine because the "hello world" http example works fine, and the ethernet tester too.

What im doing wrong? Thank you!

Maybe the name of your file is longer than 8.3 characters?

I tried index.html and test.html, but still not working.

EDIT: "index.htm" Worked fine!! So I have to use the "htm" extension and names no longer than 8 chars?? Its pretty anoying :S Thank you!!

The local file system explicitly states that it only supports filenames in DOS (read 8.3) convention. (The way VFAT handles long file names is patented by Microsoft :(
