First of all, the Http Facility (as you may not know) is far from complete. In 
fact, not a single line of code in there is more than 10 days old.

That said; it does work to a large degree. You are just experiencing that 
Magic and Merlin still needs some integration.

Create a merlin.properties in your merlin directory, containing the following 
line;

merlin.repository = /home/tobias/.magic/main

(Figure out where the .magic directory is on your system...)

this instructs Merlin to look for built artifacts in the right places. 


I hope this helps. And any further issues, don't hesitate to yell.
