#' Create a web dependency

#' Ensure that a file-based HTML dependency (from the htmltools package) can be
#' served over Shiny's HTTP server. This function works by using
#' \code{\link{addResourcePath}} to map the HTML dependency's directory to a
#' URL.
#'
#' @param dependency A single HTML dependency object, created using
#'   \code{\link[htmltools]{htmlDependency}}. If the \code{src} value is named, then
#'   \code{href} and/or \code{file} names must be present.
#'
#' @return A single HTML dependency object that has an \code{href}-named element
#'   in its \code{src}.
