The Help Application (flsurf)

The HelpApp widget provides a simple web browser application, complete with bookmarks, proxy support, and so forth. The flsurf application included with the distribution demonstrates how to use it.

Implementation

The HelpApp widget is composed of several windows and control widgets. The HTML viewing portion is handled by the HelpView widget, while file selection is handled by the FileChooser widget.

HTTP access to files is handled by the CUPS HTTP functions. Currently only a single file is cached, so any navigation results in a reload.
