Very small Web Server cross-platform to use with node-webkit

[francesco....@gmail.com]

I understood that the "issue" of / path referencing to root path (C:\ in windows, / in linux) is not something that can be considered an issue, but I definitely need a solution to run my application.

My only option is to run a small webserver (cross platform: linux/windows/mac) that serves only static files (javascript, html and css), so that I can have CSS files placed in whatever nested directory I want without requiring me to type ../../../../ or something similar (and suicide if I move it to a different folder).

Does anyone faced a similar issue and can suggest me an option for this? Maybe node-webkit has an option to specify (through node) which should be the root directory and how can I eventually run html files from there?

Thanks

If i understand your issue correctly I did , i would like at least to be able to specify a root path for the links in a html page  (in the manifest for instance ). Because it is really a pain in the A$$ to have to run a server for stupid stuffs like that. It is imho my biggest issue with nodewebkit. Other solutions dont have that problem

Try using the app:// protocol.

there see different options... 

1st: <base href=..> in the header... that makes your relative paths obsolete

2nd: you may install the node webserver module "npm install http-server -g"

3rd: what j.v.tr...@gmail.com  said...

@Ralf:

1) Doesn't work for anything else except html. The biggest problem however, lies in CSS

2) Node is not available on customer PC

3) That's the real solution

@Jose: Thanks, that's probably a good idea

[Ralf Schwoebel]

Fancesco, good that you worked it out, but the base href should also work for CSS, as long as you do not @include... in the CSS itself... then it turns relative... right?

[Francesco Belladonna]

Wait, I suppose you are confusing what I'm referring to.
In CSS, if you refer to something with url('......'), this, won't be modified by <base>.

That's what I'm referring to.

Obviously <link> tag will be modified by <base>, but that's still html-related, not css related

In CSS URL() you can use relative paths and they will be relative to CSS file path.
So URL(test.png) will point to image placed belong with css file, doesn't it?
