Hi,

Q1 - Does firefox do something special for it's Save As Webpage
feature in terms of Same Origin Policy? That is, does it take any
steps to security issues that might arise from the fact that web items
from different web-sites would be saved to the same location? (ref
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy )

I'm also thinking of the case where I was to take the various files
downloaded by firefox in a Save As Webpage, and then moving these to
under a local webserver. So my question is kind of both in relation
to (a) accessing the downloaded webpage from file system where firefox
puts it, but also (b) accessing the content via a web-server (if it
were moved to under a web-server).

Q2 - If I did want to put the downloaded file on a web-server, if
there were any security issues associated with Same Origin Policy, any
suggestions re how to prevent these?


thanks
