(Windows) Pollen server throws exception when linking to / #270

On Windows 10, running the Pollen server in a project folder with this template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<title>Test</title>

◊(->html doc)

<p><a href="/">Home</a></p>

</html>

Clicking the “Home” link results in an exception (below).

(On Mac OS, this navigates to index.html as expected. Not sure if this is a bug in Pollen, a bug in the Racket web server, or just unexpected but logically consequential behavior due to Windows path behavior.)

Obvious workaround is to link to /index.html explicitly.

The application raised an exception with the message:

bytes->path: byte string is empty

So the error is arising from net/url-string? Maybe the project server should be setting path-convention-type to 'unix, somehow?
