The index.html is written using normal standard relative links such as pages/2.html images/foo.png css/style.css These only work if the browser knows the real directory. But the fashuganeh Android SAF apparently hides the directory. Therefore, SAF URIs cannot be used for relative links inside HTML files. So when the HTML says: <a href="pages/2.html"> Android tries to resolve it relative to the SAF URI, not the filesystem. Worse, when I tap an HTML file in ZArchiver, it passes the file using content://ru.zdevs.zarchiver.external/... Which is ZArchiver's own SAF wrapper, not a real path. When I paste the full URI into Privacy Browser, I get the error Webpage not available. The webpage at file:///storage/emulated/0/0000/book/name/index.html could not be loaded because: net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED The normal HTML manual expects a real filesystem: /storage/emulated/0/0000/book/name/index.html /storage/emulated/0/0000/book/name/pages/2.html But Android 16 rewrites everything into SAF URIs: content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3A0000%2Fbook%2Fname%2Findex.html This means the relative link pages/2.html Becomes content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/pages/2.html which is not a real path. It's a virtual document reference. So why did file:///storage/emulated/0/0000/book/name/index.html fail? Android 10+ treats any custom top-level folder as restricted. Apparently, Android only allows browsers to read: /storage/emulated/0/Download/ /storage/emulated/0/Documents/ /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/ /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/ Apparently, Occam's Razor says the simplest explanation that fits the facts is that Android 16 blocks browsers from reading custom top-level folders. -- Every Usenet post should strive to add value that wasn't there before.
