I'm just loving this project.

I want to let you know that there's a little problem with the examples.

The following files rely on the Javascript library <script src="../../../lib/javascript/autobahn.js"></script>
Desktop\autobahn\AutobahnPython\examples\pubsub\authorization\client.html
Desktop\autobahn\AutobahnPython\examples\rpc\calculator\calculator.html
Desktop\autobahn\AutobahnPython\examples\rpc\keyvalue\keyvalue_client.html

As these projects have separated, some issues arise.

The other examples work right out of the box, which is cool. It's not really a problem if you're really interested in learning about the examples, BUT if you just want to check out the examples to see what autobahn CAN do, then it's not just a doubleclick to open it the browser and it works, but this then means to check why it doesn't work, fix the paths and all of that.

I'd recommend you to place the javascript file inside the AutobahnPython/examples folders, this underlines the fact that it doesn't belong to AutobahnPython, probably with a readme.txt telling me to check out the latest version at AutobahnJs if I'm serious about using the library (or you could place that text in the html file). Or maybe just make sure that AutobahnJs and AutobahnPython/examples always contain the same version of the library.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thanks;)

Ah, yeah. Thanks for reporting! I have fixed the script links .. they
now point to the one hosted by Tavendo.

This is convenient and works out of the box .. as long as there is
internet.

The other options (having it manually copied, having a ../.. link
pointing to a "parallel" checkout of the AutobahnJS repo) - did not
appear very desirable.
