This avoids forking another process, avoids polling, fixes a race,
and avoids a rare forkProcess thread hang that I saw once time
when starting the webapp.
Had to switch to toWaiAppPlain to avoid a seeming bug in toWaiApp;
chromium only received a partial copy of jquery. Always the same length
each time, which makes me think it's a bug in the compression, although
a bug in the autohead middleware is also a possibility.
Anyway, there's little need for compression for a local webapp. Not wasting
time compressing things is probably a net gain.
Similarly, I've not worried about minifying this yet. Although that would
avoid bloating the git-annex binary quite so much.
Very happy to have a reusable autoUpdate widget that can make any Yesod
widget automatically refresh!
Also added support for non-javascript browsers, falling back to meta
refresh.
Also, the home page is now rendered with the webapp status on it, before
any refreshing is done.
The webapp is now a constantly updating clock! I accomplished this amazing
feat using "long polling", with some jquery and a little custom java
script.
There are more modern techniques, but this one works everywhere.
Broke hamlet out into standalone files.
I don't like the favicon display; it should be served from /favicon.ico,
but I could only get the static site to serve /static/favicon.ico, so
I had to use a <link rel=icon> to pull it in. I looked at
Yesod.Default.Handlers.getFaviconR, but it doesn't seem to embed
the favicon into the binary?
