App for running a (simple) web server on Android? Possible Duplicate:
  Viewing web pages offline.  




Hi,

I just got a new Acer tablet, and was looking forward to reading HTML files in addition to PDF on my tablet during my commute: case in point being the Android documentation which is available in offline form in the doc/ directory in the sdk install.

So I copied the doc/ folder from my PC to my tablet, and browsed to it using Astro, but was saddened to find that HTML files on the SD card are not easily accessible by the browser, which brings me to my question:

Is there an app (preferably open source), which can provide a basic web server (only localhost, simply serving HTML, JS, CSS and image files) so I can access files by typing URLs such as http://localohost/android-docs/index.html ?

I have looked at iJetty, but it seems to be doing too much. I just want to serve files, not do much Java.

Thanks in advance.

I do not know if this will help you but.... I have a similar problem with my Droid X.  This is what I did--it might work for you:


On your home computer or notebook, download Opera, the free browser.  Install.
Go Opera Unite within the browser.
Install the proxy server (may be named web proxy).  The Unite web server app will also work.
Follow the instructions.  Choose a folder on an attached drive (example C:\nameoffolder)
Fire up the app.  Note the URl which is generated.
If you did this correctly, you now have a webserver installed within the Opera browser.  You can configure whether you want this to be public or private.
Now, go to the Acer tablet.  Open up any web browser --it need not be the Opera browser.
Insert the URL you previously copied.

If your html files are hyperlinked, you should be home free.



As long as Opera browser with the Unite apps are running on the "original" computer, you can access them as a web page on your tablet.

Good luck!
