Hi!

I'm planning to get a new N810(Wi-Max), mostly for this:

I'm studying Cisco courses, so I've got an offline version of their CCNA Exploration Curriculum. It's totally flash-based:
There's an index page which calls another one, with content, in a very strange way "...cheetah.html?c1lang=en&c1id=en0600000000&c2lan g=&c2id=&chapter=1"

On Win 2nd page open from the index one, on Linux (Ubuntu 8.4) I have to type in the URL manually.

My friend has got N810, I asked him to test if he can open it on the device (afaik N8x0 is Debian-based?). The initial page was ok, but the second one gave a mistake (which come out if you don't enter the parameters in the URL after "?").
He claims that N810 is not capable of opening such URL as there's no Apache in standart Maemo - is that right?

Could that be fixed?

Please tell me what you know about the issue as I'm hesitating whether to get N810 (I'm not a fan a buying and carrying expensive heavy books, so I need a gagdet to study while I'm in transport 2-3 hours a day).

Thanks!

hmmm, I don't know what you are talking about (), but there is Apache compiled for maemo. Hope that helps! How is it stored on the N810? Or is it internet so you can use Wi-Max. Slightly confused... sry...

There are some http servers for N8x0 including Apache, but probably any will do.

Ok, again:
All the files (there's a lot of stuff) were copied from C:\Cisco_CCNA\Exploration2 onto N810. There's an index file with welcome screen and a button "Launch", calling another page with the course content.
Everything's in Flash (not sure which version).
The full address of the second page (on PC at least) is :file://localhost/C:/CISCO_CCNA/Exploration2/theme/cheetah.html?c1lang=en&c1id=en0900000000&c2lang=&c 2id=&chapter=1

In Windows it's opened automatically after clicking "Lauunch" button on index page, on Linux I have to type the address manually. Typing just cheetah.html will give a mistake, so parameters after "?" are needed. But as far as I understand, Maemo isn't able to open such URLs from localhost ('cause there's no web-server installed by default, right?)

I hope I've explained my question better!
Actually I could upload the files somewhere if there's anyone so enthusiastic to help me

Thanks!

Well, if you install apache (which is available), and access them as http://127.0.0.1/CISCO_CCNA/Explorat...2id=&chapter=1 or similar, it should work fine.

Yeah, I think the Windows Linux thing is messing with your book. Just use a web server like Benson said. Apache is huge, look for something smaller.

Well, I found only Apache as web/http server @ maemo.org.
I'll try to install it and open my flas files (btw, is there any difference where to copy them?)
