I think this is not possible with current code. What patches from John did
you apply?

BTW, linking withing formatted pages works, so this could be a step forward:

diff --git a/README.md b/README.md
index c6222b75..fee7dcae 100644

 These are like the test apps, but focus on doing one thing, the best way, with the minimum amount of code.  For example the minimal-http-server serves the cwd on http/1 or http/2 in 50 LOC.  Same thing with tls is just three more lines.
