I have my ways in Linux, but when I use a different OS, like Android, I
adapt to its ways. I don't try to enforce my older habits ;-)
I did a test, downloading that rust book to my tablet, into
/storage/emulated/0/Documents/rust/book
and then tried to point firefox to it. Did not work. Then I navigated to
the "index" in CX, and tapped on it. It asked what to use, I said FFx,
and it happily opened the "book".
It is pointing to
http://127.0.0.1:26108/sdcard/0/storage/6130-3634/Documents/book/index.html
I guess CX created automatically a web server on the fly, which is a
neat trick. Nice app.
