Description
Bug Description
This works: https://python.microbit.org/v/3/api/gc
This does not: https://python.microbit.org/v/3/api/microbit.audio.SoundEffect (403 forbidden)
Presumably a glitch in the fallback routing that we have to serve the index page. Probably needs fixing outside this repo but tracking here.

The routing function is using the presence of a dot in the final part to avoid sending the HTML of the app on the assumption it's an asset path. We either need a different rule or we change these URLs. As they've never worked that seems to be an option. E.g. s/[.]/-/g ? Or perhaps / ?
https://python.microbit.org/v/3/api/microbit/audio/SoundEffect seems like it makes perfect sense.

This was fixed somewhere along the way (without introducing slashes). Closing.

Totally mistaken in closing this. Needs a hard refresh to see. Reopening.
