View your local application on the web without a server

You can watch your local web enabled applications. You don't even have to open your client.

From the local client, make a shortcut to nhttp.exe. It will actually help you preview in the web browser (you will get it in the Notes directory). Be sure that the Internet password field is not empty in your local address-book.

Before opening the database, click on nhttp.exe. It will prompt for the password that you used to setup your Notes-client. Submit the password for that particular ID file but be sure you are not typing the Internet password this time.

Now open the web browser and type
http://localhost/your_application_name.nsf.

You can view your application from the web browser.
