Great !

> One minor edit is that ZnSeasideServerAdaptorDelegate was the class for the delegate but it was otherwise very straightforward.  Seaside is now listening only on loopback at /seaside but I noticed that Zinc is still listening at / and serving up some default content:

Zinc does have indeed a number of such pages, try /help for a listing, /status is one of them.

I thought you liked them ;-)

Anyway, what #installInServer:underPrefix: does is add a /seaside handler/path/route to the existing handlers/paths/routes of the ZnDefaultServerDelegate inside the ZnServer. What you need to do is play with those: either remove existing ones (prefixMap removeAll before installing) or replace the whole delegate, but I haven't tried that last one myself.

PS: #logToTranscript and #debugMode: true can be helpful to see what is going on.
