I can see the index of /files directoy and prototype-pivot-pong/boilerplate.html doesn’t exist. So, the 404 error is correct. Also, you must know that, if the requested URL hits the directory of WordPress and it doesn’t match a real file, the request will be handle by WordPress, at least you set your own RewriteRules in .htaccess … Read more

What exactly happens when you put the file into your root folder (next to wp-config.php)? In any case, if there are rules in .htaccess that … Read more
