I'm designed a media preview as part of an application and have
previously been using ContainerControls to provide the various
preview formats: Text, Audio, Video, Picture, and Web. But I'm
getting attacked by more bugs than I can workaround on both Mac OS X
and Windows XP. For example, closing an HTMLViewer in a
ContainerControl crashes the application.
So I said, "I'm a very good web designer/programmer, why don't I do
everything via HTML?" - kind of like Safari does for it's RSS reader.
This is easy. Writing the web server is also pretty trivial, already
done that. But the question arises: if the user is not connected to a
network, can I still access localhost urls? If not, using an
integrated webserver/htmlviewer simply won't work.
The reason I cannot simply generate HTML and push it into the
HTMLViewer is I need links and such to work, which means I need to
use the typical HTTP pull method, which means webserver.
So the question: can I access localhost without a network connection?
if not, can anybody think of a better way?
