HTTP Server

The wiki is accessible through an index.html page which is directly in the output directory.

There are two ways to open the wiki:

• By double clicking on the index.html page
• By double clicking on the server.bat console file (or server.sh on Linux or MacOS X) and browse the content of the wiki at the http://localhost:8080/ address

The second option improves the Full text search feature.

Deploying the server

By default the following files should be present in the same directory as the index.html page:

• The HttpServer.jar file
• The server.bat console file (or the server.sh file on Linux or MacOS X)

The server.bat console file has the following content:

      java -jar HttpServer.jar
      pause

It is possible to put these files in another directory, and set the -d or --dir argument to specify the directory of the wiki. For example:

      java -jar HttpServer.jar -d L:\my\wiki
      pause

It is possible to set the set the -p or --port argument to specify the port to access for the wiki. For example:

      java -jar HttpServer.jar -p 8082
      pause

Cross-origin resource sharing

The reason why you will not see the context of the search if you open the wiki in the browser by double clicking on the index.html page is because of the Cross-origin resource sharing policy (CORS).

Alternative servers

You can use any HTTP server. For example:

• The py2server.bat console file starts a Python 2 HTTP server
• The py3server.bat console file starts a Python 3 HTTP server
