In the list after the function msum( I assume it's a list since it's in []), is everything after dir a route? What should a route look like in happstack code? I am totally lost in this piece of code.
My understanding is that each dir ...
line is a route (for a directory.)
E.g.:
dir "static" $ serveDirectory DisableBrowsing [] staticDir,
means that for paths like /static/...
invoke the handler serveDirectory ...
If you want to add your own route, add it before the notFoundResponse
- otherwise it probably will never get called.
