Hmisc example application

[jfisher-usgs]

It appears that the Hmisc example application is no longer working (at least in Windows 7 and 10).

Example code (from ?Rook::Builder):

library(Rook)

s <- Rhttpd$new()
library(Hmisc)
dir.create(file.path(tempdir(),'plots'),showWarnings=FALSE)
s$add( name="Hmisc",
    app=Builder$new(
        Static$new(
            urls = c('/css','/images','/javascript'),
            root = system.file('exampleApps/Hmisc',package='Rook')
        ),
        Static$new(urls='/plots',root=tempdir()),
        Brewery$new(
            url='/brew',
            root= system.file('exampleApps/Hmisc',package='Rook'),
            imagepath=file.path(tempdir(),'plots'),
            imageurl='../plots/'
        ),
        Redirect$new('/brew/useR2007.rhtml')
    )
)
s$start(quiet=TRUE)
s$browse('Hmisc') # Opens a browser window to the application.

And 127.0.0.1:17941/custom/Hmisc/brew/useR2007.rhtml results in "The 127.0.0.1 page isn't working" with "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" (Chrome browser).
