Now that WebKit is available, and makes the lovely rendering engine of Safari
available to other apps, there's a back-burner project of mine that I might
tackle now. I could really use some basic help-the-n00b advice on how to go
about accomplishing this with WebKit, and whether it's even feasible.
Basically, there are some proprietary help formats out there that bind a bunch
of fairly standard HTML into wacky archive files. Would it be possible to
construct an app to display these sorts of files?
The stumbling block seems to be that WebKit wants to do both the rendering tasks
and the content fetching tasks. Is there a way that I can insert my own code
into the process, such that, say, all outgoing requests go to my code, and I can
then provide an NSString or NSData or something as the contents of that
resource? Pretty much all relative URLs in the HTML will refer to other files
inside the archive, which my code must extract and hand back to the rendering
engine.
Can this be done with WebKit? How much hacking will be involved? And where
should I start looking?
