Not sure I understand. Can you give an example?

Basically, I have a react app that gets served at /, and there's some data to be filled out that will eventually be POSTed serverside
When that happens, I want to send back a static html file saying that the request has been processed, and that just has some javascript to send them back to the root of the app after a couple of seconds
I just ended up doing this
call.respond(File(staticFolder, "success.html").readText())o

Hmm, why would you send html page in response to a React app POST request? I imagine you’d send a JSON back with data needed to render the message, and then React app would do the rest?
Also,
readTextI think we might need
call.respondFile(baseDir, file)r
