[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17944) BrowserSim: Use http: protocol instead of file: for accessing local files

[Ilya Buziuk (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17944?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12989201#comment-12989201 ] 

Ilya Buziuk commented on JBIDE-17944:
-------------------------------------

< But there is a point in having the option to "simulate" standalone apps
So, why not to do this support in CordovaSim. We have focussed on the fact that Ripple handles only Hybrid mobile projects (In fact it's not) - !ripple.png|thumbnail! (NOTE this picture is from my [cordovasim|https://github.com/ibuziuk/incubator-ripple/commits/cordovasim] branch for incubator-ripple migration. On master we have only *Apache Cordova / Phonegap* 3.0 platform supported)
So we can extend CordovaSim functionality by managing Mobile Web platform (I think this is something that will cover a case with stanalone apps <- need to investigate it properly)
Could you give me for instance of a standalone app for testing?

> 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.
