I also could see the image, but the URL I had to use is:

http://localhost:8081/img/index.html

The reason for this is that you have 2 modules in your application.

If you do not specify a path, the webserver has no way of determining 
what module it should invoke. There is a property 'AllowDefaultModule'
which will allow to select a default module if no module name is found.

Then, if you have multiple modules, you need to tell the webserver which 
is the default module to use. You can do this by setting DefaultModuleName.

So, I set up the project file by adding

   Application.AllowDefaultModule:=True;
   Application.DefaultModuleName:='img';

before
   Application.initialize;

and then everything worked fine with the URL:

http://localhost:8081/index.html
