Good catch. The files are saved in UTF-8 encoding, changing encoding to UTF-8 without BOM in Notepad++ did the job. Thank you.

I just provided the "stupid" solution, thanks for making me understand it now, thanks too!

Because of BOM i have a lot of troubles while programming in PHP in the past. You can think it as 3 invisible characters at the beginning of the file. That's because deleting worked for you.

The Wiki article explains the BOM and usage very well. just might remember it for the future

- Sat Jan 31, 2015 12:49 am #8563 Sorry to ask an entry level question - do you have a step-by-step instruction somewhere on how to use lhttpd.lua? I copied the files in webserver.zip to esp8266, then running http://.../index.html in Windows and cannot get it to work -- wifi connection was correctly made. Thanks for anyone's help.
