There is a fix.  The page is being returned, but it's being returned
with a mime type of text/plain, because no suffix is provided on the URL
to allow tclhttpd to guess the desired mime type.

The fix is to [set ::MimeType() text/html] which will make the default
mime type that, instead of text/plain, which is its current (and, IMHO,
not unreasonable default.)

If this doesn't fix the problem for you, let me know.
