             Summary: BrowserSim: Use http: protocol instead of file: for accessing local files
                 Key: JBIDE-17944
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17944
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: browsersim
            Reporter: Alexey Kazakov


Currently, BrowserSim works through file: protocol but this protocol doesn't work well with paths relative to the webroot (which start with "/").
So if a local file contains any links to local resources (css, js, ...) via relative paths then these resources are not available in BrowserSim.

For example all official ionic example projects use such paths. It makes "open with BrowserSim" feature useless for those projects.

It would be great if BrowserSim uses http: as our HTML5 preview does.
