Make sure all references in the HTML specify filenames like:
        /html/picture.png
        /html/script.js
    in other words, make sure the root directory "/" is first.

Write a redirect header back to the browser. Something like:

        print "HTTP/1.1 302 OK"
        print join "Location: " %/html/confirmation.html
        print "^/"

Or write a small html page with a refresh tag in the header to the
confirmation html page. Something like:
        print {
            <html>
            <head>
            <title>Redirecting...</title>
            <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;
URL=/html/confirmation.html">
            </head>
            <body></body>
            </html>
            }
    or in my HTML dialect:
        print HTML [
            head [
                title "Redirecting..."
                refresh 0:00 %/html/confirmation.html
                ]
            body [] []
            ]
