Two return commands in a sequence don't make sense because the second
will never be reached. Your binding returns the document with the name
"Content-type: text/html\n\n" which very likely does not exist.

Cheng> it work fine but just return a text file instead of html file.

Cheng> can't we return the content-type of html?

You can define a mapping from file name extensions (e.g. .html) to
mime types using the http mime command:

http mime text/html .html

The command above will tell scotty to transfer all *.html files with
content-type text/html.
