Morph browser struggles to read offline html files
-
Hello everyone. After a bit of fiddling, I managed to install httrack in libertine (I had to compile it from sources, mind you). It's a website offline mirroring software, that I used to mirror locally a book on a website, on my OPO. This way I can take advantages of chapters and hyperlinks. It usually works well with static websites. But recently I decided to mirror this website: https://www.tela-botanica.org/eflore/bonnierpda/Bonnier.html
It's a tree-like suite of questions to identify a plant until you get the exact species. Morph says it can't find the file when given this kind of address: "file:///home/phablet/Documents/index.html" - it should work and it usually does. By the way tapping on the index file offers plenty of options to open it (like transmission, the openstore, or document viewer) except the only one that could make any use of it: Morph.
I copied the whole folder containing the website to my computer to check if the files were faulty. Firefox opens the offline website without issues. I then decided to try opening it with firefox in libertine - but firefox on armhf is not a possibility at the moment. I then tried netsurf on libertine. It works but is a pain to use. So here I am, back to asking myself can't morph do it ???? Thank you -
I managed eventually to get my offline site to run, by using NetSurf in Libertine. It doesn't fully support the website, but most of it, so here we go. Still would like to see Morph able to open html files in a tap - and able to recognize simple offline html trees...

Morph can only open files from the Downloads folder. Try copying them there.
