Tools Included in HelpSmith / Web Server |
Send comments on this topic |
HelpSmith includes a built-in web server that allows you to test your Web Help system on the local computer through the http:// protocol as if it was accessed from the final web server.
Using a web server eliminates any security restrictions of modern web browsers associated with running a web page from the local computer directly (through the file:// protocol) that could make some functions of the Web Help system work incorrectly.
The local web server runs automatically when you generate a Web Help system.
If necessary, you can control and configure the local web server in HelpSmith settings as described in this topic.
