I wrote documentation for configuration files in xsd with the idea that I could use xslt to display them in a browser on any system and use the same files for validation. This worked a year ago.
Now browsers consider local files that access other local files suspect and will refuse to load anything unless beaten. So I now use a python script to run a simple local http server to view my local files from a single "origin". However http itself is already considered suspect and many claim it should be deprecated for https.
In the future I will have to provide a lets encrypt signed https server with valid domain so anyone can view those files on their browser without having to mess with about:config settings or their own certificate cache. The cloud is the future, do not dare to build something that runs locally.
- bouk 7y agohttp over localhost is considered secure by browsers
- josefx 7y agoIs there a documented guarantee of that somewhere? Because I am half tempted to make a browser based UI for a few tools, but would rather use Java if there is even a tiny risk that I get the rug pulled from under my feet again.
