Here's my crack at the question: how can I have an HTML file in web2py/applications/init rather than in Web2py's "special" static directory?
Here's why I'm asking this question. if anyone thinks I should be asking a different question, constructive questions welcomed. I'm using GWT which has GWT.getModuleBaseURL() to return the path to its "root" directory. I need this path to create an URL to call my Web2py Server function (in web2py/applications/init/controllers/default). If I place my GWT static files in web2py/applications/init/static then GWT. getModuleBaseURL() returns domain.com/init/static. I want it to return domain.com instead.
