dasht-server links not open

[laoshaw]

after dasht-server started I can search in the browser just fine, but when I click the search results it does not open the URLs. Chrome says "Not allowed to load local resource: "

This problem is described in dasht-server documentation, along with possible solutions, here:

Browser refuses to load file:// links
http://sunaku.github.io/dasht/man/man1/dasht-server.1.html#browser-refuses-to-load-file-links

yes found that by reading your scripts. thanks.

why not rewrite links and serve files over http?

I second jb55. In windows 10, it is possible to use dasht in WSL, but the local links would not correspond to a valid windows path but a WSL path instead. Serving the files in http would solve this but would require parsing the sent html to also fix the paths included there in case the documentation also links to other pages directly.

Now implemented in the issue-45 branch. Please try it out and let me know if you find any problems.
