It will serve files from the app directories specified by appDirs.
If a file is requested that is not in one of those directories, the
files in Shinylight's own inst/www directory will be served.
Some paths have special meanings: / returns
/index.html, /lang/ is redirected to
/locales/<language-code>/ depending
on the language selected in the request's Accept-Language
header (that is, the browser's language setting) and the
availability of the file requested. A POST request to /init
with a data parameter will return /index.html, except
that if the file has a line containing shinylight_initial_data =
then this line with be replaced with a line initializing
shinylight_initial_data to the data passed. This is used in
shinylight-framework to permit linking to a framework app
with specific data preloaded -- the text should be as is downloaded
with the "Save Data" button. Of course, this is available to
non-framework apps, too.

string.
