Web Viewer - what can it see?

[bruceR]

Web Viewer can see all kinds of file formats and I think it would be helpful to explore this fully. For intance - you can display Quartz Composer documents such as screen savers. Quartz composer documents can have RSS feeds. So for instance you could subscribe to your own DDR and display it in a web viewer. You can view PDF, HTML, text, Quicktime, various image formats.. what else?

For instance download some example Quartz Composer files from here: http://www.timeoutofmind.com/quartzComposer/quartzComposer.cfm

Well SWF for one, but in truth i think it's only limited by what the system browser can process...

B, what URL schema are you using to display local html in the web viewer? I can get a local page to load if I'm explicit -

file://localhost/Users/tonyo/Desktop/preview/content/preview.html

But if I use a relative path like this - 

file:content/preview.html

I get a "File Doesn't Exist" error. I'd rather use a relative path as it's in a solution. What do you think? TIA! -Tony

If I put a file in the /Library/WebServer folder of my OS X machine, and turn on Personal Web Sharing in the Sharing Preference Pane, then I can use a relative path:

http://localhost/some_file.pdf
