If I load an HTML from file:// and in the HTML there's an AJAX 'GET' request to a relative URL, it means the URL is pointing to a file and the file is loaded.
Can I have a similar behavior for 'PUT'? Meaning overwrite the file's content with the AJAX data?
I need this so I can easily debug scripts without the need to setup an HTTP server to host them and reply to the requested URLs.
Thank you
As far as I know, the HTML/script model in current browsers does not allow changing local resources (sort of a sandbox - think of the mess that would occur if an HTML page could write to a local file). The file:// is just a way to tell the browser a resource it's looking for is local to the machine it's running on, so it won't need to utilize the network. So you can read local resources from script - not change them.
Why not just run a local web server? You'll need it anyway eventually.
