I made a simple home.html file that just contains "hello". I stored
it in the same directory as the browser executable. I plugged away
with various punctuation into the url-input of Contiki, but no luck.
The program always tries "resolving the web host" to no avail.
My thought was to make a local html file as a home page that has the
now (unfortunately) huge links required to get things like the
weather, even when using FrogFind. Airport codes for weather via
FrogFind no longer work, but it is still possible with HUGE url
strings including GPS locations.
I guess I could try having a network local web server hosting such a
page, but I don't know enough about routing and such to prevent
attacks on a local web server. Was kind of hoping it could just be an
html file on the Apple II.
Thanks for reading.

The answer to your question in the subject is a simple 'no'.
Just enter the bare IPv4 address of the machine running the
web server in the URL field of the Contiki web browser.
Thanks Oliver, that's great information.
The first line of your response made me laugh because it dispenses with
every follow-up question I might have had!
That's much easier than you may think: Just enter the bare
IPv4 address of the machine running the web server
in the URL field of the Contiki web browser.

You were right, setting it up was quite easy. It's working. Thanks.

So far that works, am I on the right track?
