Test Drive, continued

With your web server running, let’s load up Coach Kelly’s home page and get things going. You’ve
started your web server running on port 8080 on your computer, so you need to use the following
web address in your web browser: http://localhost:8080.

The coach’s home page
appears in your browser.
It’s called “index.html”
and it is included in the
“webapp.zip” download.

…and your web server
springs into life, logging
(to the screen) any and
all web requests that it
processes.
