website hard to test locally; it requires a webserver. (problem when using file URIs)

[SomberNight]

The html files cannot be easily tested in a browser locally. The website is broken when using the file:// protocol; it works when using http://, so the workaround is to run a webserver locally.

Firefox (87.0) logs:

self-note: quick way to set up a webserver for local testing:

$ cd "$WWW_DIR"
$ python3 -m http.server --bind localhost 9995
$ firefox localhost:9995
