Support Request: Accessing local content in SiteKiosk\data folder

Description

I'm currently following the Blog Entry for accessing local document ( http://devblog.provisio.com/post/2012/04/20/SiteKiosk-Android-access-the-local-file-system-via-the-sk-protocol-.aspx ) in order to implement a local web page for offline situations

I would expect to be able to access my uploaded html file by using sk:///data/index.html (I also saw support resquest that suggest they are able to do it)

When I try to do so, it tries to search google with the sk:///data/index.html instead of opening the page.

Is there anything to do to activate the sk protocol, which is not given to me in the dropdown list of starting page options.

Thank you.

You can just use the file protocol (file:///) for this. You can also check the link outside of SiteKiosk in the default browser on the Android device.

You should not use the sk:// protocol for this. Using the sk:// protocol is only necessary (and possible) if you want to access local files from a web page that is hosted on a web server.
(To prevent cross site scripting accessing arbitrary local files is not allowed in a normal browser with pages coming from a server).
