Get fixture serving working. @brittanydmiller, @dpschaaf, @moshi-kibu  (why doesn't Carolyn have her github `@-messaging` set up properly...one of you should fix her on that).

Pay attention to a few things.

1.  I fixed this.
2.  How I fixed this.
3.  How I wrote the commits to fix this (esp. 6524645: see how i use the commit as an "email": it tells what happened and then has a lot of supplementary data thereafter)
4.  How I proved I fixed this.

Sometimes we find bugs in other software, pay attention to how I *documented* this work around.  This is part of your education, too.
