what exactly is the advantage of using this extension compared to a webviewer component?

--
this is a web server, a web server serve web pages or files to users, in response to theirs requests.

WebViewer is a browser, as Chrome, Firefox,... to read htm pages or others files.

If you run this server in your app, others users from you local net, can read file in your /mnt/sdcard, example: /mnt/sdcard/file.htm

Others local users in theirs browsers in PC, mobile, tablet... can write your local IP, example: 192.168.1.5:8080 and read your page. (umm difficulty with english).

--
Do you need to use Webviewer to see output of the webserver, you didn't show these blocks?

I presume you need a routine to grab the local IP on each use, but won't each device create its own server, or do you simply have one app for the server and another app to access the server from other devices?

--
when you run this extension in your app, you mobile is a local web server. You find you IP, is easy, example when run MIT COMPANION show your local IP. 

Then you say this IP others user, those user in browsers PC, Android, tablet,...example Chrome, Firefox, WebWiever... write your local IP, example 192.168.1.5:8080 and get you file.

If you need static IP number in your mobile, you can set your router. MAC --------> IP.

I imagine this server would be useful for local chat without SMS or BlueTooth,
assuming local WiFi.  Clients of the server would need to poll it periodically.

--

I thought in a chat, perhaps if web page refresh in client by HMTL code http-equiv=”refresh” content="15" poll automatic

But principal restriction of this code is: you can't stop server and continue app. Whenever stop server, close app.

--
this is a new version com.KIO4_SimpleWebServer.aix extension, 7/august/2017

Fixed Stop server. Now when Stop server app doesn't close.

- To try example, please download files index.htm and baile.htm and copy in your: /mnt/sdcard/

- This simple web server can serve text but not images, but works with hotlink.

- Hotlinks works in PC browsers, but doesn't work for me in Chrome mobile.

--
