I'm the author of the extension. Browsers don't offer a way to register a (browser) extension with a given mime-type or filename extension. That's why SingleFileZ uses the HTML format to wrap the zip content.
- dhruvdh 7y agoQuick question, can I also use this to serve a webpage? As in take a website I am developing and have my server serve SingleFileZ instead of what I would usually.
- gildas 7y agoYes you can. See this page for example: https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/ https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/ (check the source code of the page if you're curious). It was saved with SingleFileZ and is served via a HTTP server. Note that you don't need any extension to view it in modern browsers. On paper, you could even store an entire website in a SingleFileZ file. It just need to be implemented...
- NKosmatos 7y agoThat would be great! I know of a few scenarios where HTTtrack and SingleFileZ would save a lot of space and effort.
