Sorry to hear that.
>could not figure out how to make it use the file: scheme as well as http.
The Workers task has
if Scheme = "ftp:" then ...
elsif Scheme /= "http:" then ... (mailto etc)
else -- Scheme is http ...
(currently, at any rate. I think that was the same in the adapower version)
I never implemented a "file:" scheme since it was simpler to just run
smplsrvr on a directory and do "finder 127.0.0.1".

And this is another point in the library debate: people will make
their own if they don't like/don't understand/aren't fully satisfied by
the existing library.
